REAL CHANCE

Ripon Abbey In The High Weight (From "N.Z. Truth's" Special . Auckland Rep.) It may be concluded that, with only 11 pounds between the thirteen engaged m the Orewa High Weight at Takapuna are a fairly --even lot. CTIL-Lr, the form of the majority of them has been anything but classy, except that of Glena Bay. which trounced a high-weight- crowd m easy fashion on the same track m the late spring. . ' ■ Bizarro can leg it a bit, and won a race as late as Thames, but one which will appeal as most likely to top Glena Bay off will be Ripon Abbey. He usually is reliable at finding the front, and if ever he is going . to be returned a winner on the ■ flat again, here is his great chance. Mashoor has got into, the minor money m inadequate fields; Zircon has lost a deal of his former pace, though Royal Form may be more than a possibility. Always is likely to show up, while among the others Harbour View, Salamander,, Marble Mount, Pekatahi and Master Arch will all claim some support. "■'■■:' However, it really seems that the two most likely ,to be m the -final fight will be RIPON ABBEY, i GLENA BAY.
