Auckland first dAy SOUTHBRN ENTRANTS MAKE FOR INTERESTING RACING. THE FIELDS REVIEWED.

(Notes by

The presence of several Southern Korses in the fields in addition to a large numher of provincially-owned •and teained sorts will serve to inyest the first day of the Auckland Trotting Club's winter meeting to-day with a goo'd deal of interest. . , The opening event is the Winter Handiicap for the legitimate giaited sorts and of these 14 have made the final payments. The distance is 1| miles fand the limit 3.48. On the limit peg as half the field, and the handicaps range back to 96 yards. Colleen Murphy has shown a bit of sp.eed in hei" previous starts, notahly at Te Aroha, hut she has invariably broken; up. This time the extra work rnay have effected an improvement, for she had a bit of promise. Mountain Sun, when Togo Lee first put hJimi into work, showed much promise but seems to have drifted since then. Otara was twice placed at Epsom a month or two ago, while though Pearl Parrish has speed she is not reliable. Singing Bird and Young Rodney are povices and nothing is known of their capahilities. Waskasu is very fast off the mark and is likely to be the early leader 'but is given to breaking. Autumn Lu has been disappointihg for George Stubbs and has plenty to do. Indolent, from Morrinsville, was not produced at Rotorua and after his win at Hamilton may be favoured. Nelson Pirate is fast, but unreliable, while Wiriwhata has not put a foot wrong for some time. Rustle, from the South, is pretty useful and, if he ean handle the grass going, should be dangerous, hut it is yet to be shown that he will appreciate the change from dirt tracks to grass. Mattie

Herbilwyn has undeniable speed hut she has broken so badly that most people have disearded her. One of these days she will settle down and P'ay the tote. Win Huon is the most solid trotter in the race and is always worth consideration. The favourites may be: —

irom — WINTER HANDICAP of £115; trotters; limit 3.48; H miles. Colleen Murphy, Mountain Sun, Otara, Pearl Parrish, Singing Bird, Young Rodney, Waskasu, limit; Autumn Lu, Indolent, 12yds behind; Nelson Pirate, 48; Wiriwhata, 72; Rustle, 84; Mattie Herbilwyn, Win Huon, 96. * * F There are 21 in the slow class pacing event and 11 of them are on the limit, making two rows. This will make it a •bit hard if the back markers want to get through early. Aircraft is a handy sort, but Anthony's Gifht is a newcomer, as are Gloster, Hukanui and Bort Light. The lastnamed is well spoken of; Free Gifht has raced unsuccessfully for some two years but should pay her way sometime, for she " has frequently been noticed running on. Gloster has shown some track work, while Jester is about due to give Sid Groat a return for his feed. Lady Fame had her first start at Rotorua and should have improved on that form. Our Summer has the best credentials off the limit, though Shining Metal, from Horotiu, has been in the money twice. Tinokaha .and Worthy Light ar.e fair sorts, and, Student Prince is in good hands. Bonnie Direct from Cros. Moran's stable won so handily at Arawa Park that the three-year-old will have a lot of friends and Bingen Chief also has won in good company. He is now with Bill Cockbill. Nello.ta is all right if she keeps down, but she rarely does. Red Hope won at Cambridge easily in

the mud, while Worthy Chief has been most unlucky of late. 'Cimarron went a great trial the other morning and, uf he gets away, will be hard to head off. May Chenault has not been seen out since Cambridge, where she disappointed, but Alec McMillan does not feed "duds." Whakahihi is very fast if fit hut has not raced for a long time. The issue is very open, with preferences for: — ;

from — MANGERE HANDICAP of £115; limit 3.6; 11 miles. Aircraft, Anthony's Gift, Fr.ee Gift, Gloster, Hukanui, Jester, Lady Fame, Our Summer, Por,t Light, Shining Metal, Student Prince, Tinokaha, Worthy Light, limit; Bonnie Direct, 12yds behind; Bingen Chief, Nellota, Redi Hope, Worthy Chief, 36; Cimarron, 48; Miay Chenault, 60; Whakahihi, 84. * * * There are 10 in the Adams' Memorial, all with' good credentials, and Direot Morning and Great Parrish are on the limit of a 4.30 class. Both have better times to their credit under summer conditions hut while Great Parrish has perhaps a shade the better of the times, Direct Morning acts better in heavy 'going. KeWpde's Triumph' has two good wins to his how ■at the last Auckland meeting and he also can handle the mud, while he is much better now Scotty Bryee is his pilot. Peterwah has done a couple or more seasons at the stud since racing in Auckland and the; Gisborne-owned stallion was brilliant on his day, clocking 4.23 3-5. How he will stage a comebaek remains to he seen hut he is reported as having worked well. Zewpie's Guy has not done so well as was expected of her but under Fred Smith's tutelage she tmust have a chance. If "Misere" remembers ardght she went well in the mud at Epsom nine month s ago, the last occasion upon which he saw her in action. Peter Pirate went a great workout the other morning and, with winter conditions, is in his element. When' he first started racing at Te Aroha five seasons ago, "Misere" sorted hfim out as oue to follow and he has proved well worth it. Auto Machine has th'e hardest part to do on his recent form, but may he back to fitness. Mountain Dell, fresh from a victory at Addington, will he well supported-, but the chance back to grass tracks may upset the Blue Mountain Zing mare.

Jewel Pointer has the heels of the lot if he is right. It was hoped to have seen him out at Rotorua hut he did not make the trip. He may need a bit more time to get right, as he takes a lot of l'ickdng into shape and has just done a season at the stud. , All know h'ow good Enaw&h is and she will take heating. The favourites mav be.

from — f ADAMS MEMORIAL CUP HAND'P. Of £300 and cup valued at £50; limit, 4.30; 2 miles. D'ii'jeet Morhing, Great Parrish, Kewpie's Triumph, Peterwah, limit; Kewpie's Guy, 12yds behind; Peter Pirate, 24; Auto Maehine, Mountain Dell, 36; Enawah, 48; Jewel Pointer, 60. # * There is a handy sort of field in the Hohson Handicap of lh miles at a 3.28 hat. Raider will be more fancied than Chenwood off the limit but if Free Logan goes off he should hold them safe. Lady Coronado had a win at Hawke's Bay, but had not much to beat. However, she is always a trier for the Hegiihbotham boys love the 'game and travel all over to^ support trotting. Pukemiro is handy in heavy going, while it is doubtful if anything reads better than Rangihau off 24 had he not struck himself. Dad's Hope can go very fast for ten furlongs but may find 12 beyond him. Kelp has

not come north for northing, while Realty should igdve Groat a show if he keeps his feet. It is an open race, with rireferences for: —

from — HOBSON HANDICAP of £120; limit 3.28; 1! miles. Chenwood, Raider, limit; Free Logan, Lady Coronado, Pukemiro, Silver Bingen, 12; Rangihau, 24; Realty, Dad's Hope, 36; Kelp, 48. * * * The "Stewards' Handicap, for trotters only, has got 10 acceptors for the twelve furlongs go at the 3.35 gait. Providing she goes off all right, it ■will be hard to see anything heading off Nell Volo from the limit now that Olson has dropped out owing to an accident at Greymouth. Had he been fit he would have taken heating. Billy Carfbinie and Moko Girl (the latter with Scotty Bryce in the sulky) should run

fair races but Nell Volo, on her Rotorua form, should hold them safe. Zanzibar can always he relied upon to go a solid race and profits by others' faults. Gay Paree has a great reputation from the South and is undoubtedly fast hut sometimes goes to a break. Bessie Parrish will have Jim Paul behind her and he can drive. Bill Clifton has a braeket with Dark McKinney and Explosion and these two are pretty good sorts, partdcularly in winter godng. Go-ld Sovereign is fast, but breaks, and he will not be able to alford any mistakes off 96 yards. Th'e race should be a good one, with planfps •fnrr*! —

from — STEWARDS' HANDICAP of £130; limit 3.35; cl| miles. Billy Carbine, Moko Girl, Nell Volo, limit; Zanzibar, 24yds behind; Gay Paree, 36; Bessie Parrish, Dark McKinney, 48; Explosion, 60; Gold Sovereign, 96. * * *- r Much will depend upon the showing made in the Adams' Memorial as to the choice of candidates in the Cornwall Handicap, for the. bulk of the entrants will he having their second start. Pegaway, Prince Pedro, Nelson Tasker, Aralbond and Stanmoor are neweomers and of these Pegaway reads the best. Prince Pedro has had a let up and Nelson Tasker and Stanmoor have not raced for some time. Arabond alsq is claimr&g His. only ■start, hut it is doubtful if>he will be there. If started he will have friends. Pegaway reads best off the limit. Great Parrish, from' 12 yards, Peter Pirate from. 24, and -Kewpie's Triumph from* 36, while Enawah. is not out of -it from 60, for she .can go a 2.11 mile as she showed* at .

Francis Lincoln, Wee Maehine, Hue Coronado (who has been trotting reeently but who is handicapped as a pacer) all have done better than their times, while Elea=wah (hracketed with Te Mahanga), Jackie Thorpe and Homeward will carry some support. The race is one in whieh anything may happen, and the ftopular choice may be: —
