Wanganui Form Will Be Guide

Woodville will stage its Cup fixture on Wednesday and Thursday of next week, and being one of the best half-dozen tracks m the Dominion there are no lack of entries; TT is groping m the : dark attempting to arrive at any definite conclusions before acceptances fall due, but it is safe to assert that fields will be satisfactory. , . - Wanganui form will have to be taken into consideration when sorting out prospective 'winners. If Royal Acre has recovered from the, soreness which prevented an outing at New Plymouth he will be one of : the fancies for the Oringi High Weight; with Goldlike, Borsalene and Airtight also m request. . Jack Cameron has both The Hawk and Merry Mint m the Cup, and the one he elects to start would have good prospects, while Great Charter, on his Wellington 'displays, threatens to- see a tenfurlong journey out reasonably . well. Blimp, The Swell, and Marjoram are others which ( seem handily m, while Oratrix may not be overburdened for the country cup class., : Wanganui form will have to be relied upon for the Ruahine Handicap sprint, but Fernden, White Fang and Royal Duke will also have to be taken into account. Jenny Diver seems above the best of those known m the Juvenile, especially if . her weight remains the same after Wanganui. Statuary and Limosin appear to be the most, likely pair to give trouble to Bernera and Royal Opera m the County, while Belle Star is an improving hack from Taranaki. 'm the Victoria Hack Cup, Wanganui form should give a guide regarding several of those engaged, though Grecian won well at New Plymouth and can stick on. ; . Royal Opera, on Pahiatua form, must also be considered.
