WILL BE FAST AND FURIOUS

Stakes Should See Some Speed SPLENDID FIELD Many of the contests for the . Feilding Stakes have been bad for the club, but on Saturday there should be spirited speculation when the tote opens for betting on the five-furlong weight-for-age race. THERE is a splendid field, and it is difficult to say which way the punter is going to be. Anyhow, unless something extraordinary , happens m the interim, there is going to be a good price about the favorite. "Truth" expects to find the northerner, Supremacy, carrying most money, for even down this far they have heard of that second at Avondale. He comes m unpenallsed, as does Lady Quex, while on the other hand,

Toxeuma is called on to carry five pounds extra, and Autopay has to shoulder an extra half a stone. Going on recent happenings, the horse which is most likely to tear it off is the Stewards' winner, Autopay. He has brilliancy, as he showed at Riccarton, and they will have to travel to heat him over five furlongs. It may be too short for Toxeuma, but it will suit Lady Quex, while Gesture has been improving with great rapidity. The two races she had at Riccarton will make her a new woman. Backers may decide that Supremacy and Autopay are the two to pay the exes, but if Gesture has improved as she threatened to improve they had better look out for this miss. On a dry track there. will be some speed shown.
