ALL roads will lead to Opunake on ** Saturday, and Secretary Reby should be able to look forward »to - a record meeting. * * , • Dick Johnson has The Swell very well. If he goes to Opunake and takes on the Cup he will have support. * .# * Bonogne should be capable of giving the stable the second leg, too. • # • Mendip has been galloping at Hawera m a fashion that suggests he has only to repeat it to be home and dried m the Cup at Opunake. • • • Llanore is to take on the Opunake Cup. She is staying on well and will keep the opposition moving. # * # Glengariff is hitting out freely and* is very well, .but he will not have matters all his own way m the Opunake Hurdles. • • • Vivo is taking on the Wellington High Weight m preference to Opunake Hurdles, and the Polydamon mare has only to run honestly to catch the judge's eye. # * • \ Manly looks none the worse for his racing at Bulls, and despite his penalty must not be overlooked on Saturday. • # # Polyphemus is being kept at easy work m readiness for the coming steeplechase season. # ♦ • Melissa has been galloping well at New Plymouth, and if coupled with Nastdri should prove hard on Saturday.
