FOR OAMARU

Form To Guide Backers

(From "N.Z. Truth's" Christchurch Rep.) With the best of the Canterbury horses away at Wellington, the second-raters v will., have i their chance at Oamaru on Saturday. THE public will have Waimate form *■ on Thursday to guide them m their investments. The Autumn Cup has drawn a small field' of six, and though he is burdened -with a big weight, Pink Note should give further evidence of his superiority over the handicap runners m the south. He has to give Royal Saxon a stone, and most opposition will come from this quarter. Meadow Lark figures m both the Cup and the Flying and his running at Waimate will decide whether he contests the longer event at Oamaru. It is highly that he will take 'his place m the sprint. In that case his form reads the best, and on his Wingatui and Rlccarton running 1 he will be quite able to carry 9.3 m this field. Money Mine has the best recent form of the others. Waterlow and Membo should be suited .by the distance m the Highweight Handicap. -,' The field for the Trial Stakes is an unknown lot, but Wig Wag and Miss Marco have had some racing experience. Kilboa, if eligible for this race, will command support. Evening and Attract are well placed m the Hack sprint. Fairy Herald and Camisader look the pick of the Farewell Handicap. CHEAP COLT OTAN. BAGBY went over to Melbourne, last week to buy a colt for Herbert Gaisford. For 125gns. he secured a Nassau — Hikoia youngster. Hikoia is by Demcfsthenes, out of Ikon, a mare bred at Te Mahanga. Jack Cameron should know something about her. He should' prove a cheap colt, for the Nassaus have been a good family m New Zealand. w * * LJYDE PARK will probably catch the punters asleep m some mile race. Keep him m mind.
