By the Sporting Editor December 6 .. .. Canterbury J.C. December 6 .. .. Avondale J.C. December 6 .. Woodville J.C. December 13 .. .. Tapanui R.C. Jottings Acceptances for the Tapanui meeting are due on Monday. Unless the sting is out of the track Deep Harmony is unlikely to- start at Riccarton to-morrow. The Stormovik appeals as one who is likely to win a stake at one of the holiday meetings. Hurdles Favourite First day’s form points to Voltaire as the hardest horse to beat in the Port Cooper Hurdles to-morrow. Nicely Placed Excellency looks nicely placed in the Members' Handicap with 8.0. She is brilliant over the distance. Burberry Sold The Man’s Pal gelding Burberry has been sold to a Western Australian sportsman and will be shipped to Perth on Monday. Avondal? Scratchings Tin Musk was withdrawn from the Titirangi Handicap at 2.20 p.m. on Wednesday and Tiltirfg was scratched for the Mount Eden Handicap at 4.25 p.m. on Wednesday. Should Be Improved Blank Cheque was having his first race since July when he finished second in the Seymour handicap and the race should have improved him. Promising Youngster Celtic Chief is a promising youngster by Coronach from Helenora. Trained by A. B. Stove, he was noticed finishing on in the Pioneer Handicap. Smart Two-year-old With a better beginning than she made in the Pioneer Handicap last Saturday, Trident should get the biggest part of the stake attached to the Irwell Handicap. Wingatui Galloper Detain’s form in the Jockey Club Handicap was not impressive and he would need to show improvement to have a chance in the Fendalton Handicap tomorrow. Assured of Support Frances will carry a lot of southern support in the Members’ Handicap at Riccarton to-morrow. In the Pearce Handicap, on Labour Day she went a fine race to finish third to Lord Dundonald and Indian Dawn. Just Missed a Place Village Beauty finished just outside a place in the Spring Nursery Handicap on the first day of the New Zealand Cup meeting and she looks the best of the light-weights in the Irwell Handicap tomorrow.
