f MASTERTON ; RACES, . ! : (Notes by Cicero.) ■ Sonic good racing should be witnessed'at ■Masterton to-morrow, when the autumn meeting of that Club will open. The: majority of horses engaged in the -Maiden are of unknown quantity. ■Probation, who hails from a successful stable, should lie favorite. Of eight acceptors for the. March Handicap. Botanist, Pariform. ami Chillies are hard to separate. .1 he latter may be hardest to beat, Maraetatara bus shown most consistent form of late, and should have a large''following for the Masterton Back. The, Cup has drawn eleven acceptors, and should ..‘produce a good contest. Leonta (9.3) has a big weight, but a really good handicap horse when -at his. best. At Wanganui last month. Conqueror’s son was most robust in condition, but despite this van a couple of good races. Orleans (8.2) -,s remarkably well handicapped, when quo considers bis recent successes m the Woodville and Dannevirke Cups. Montana (7.11) is reported as being trained specially for this event. II able to reproduce the form shown by him in the spring, Elevation’s sou would take a power of heating. Ol those horses lower in the handicap, Campciidor appears to -have the host chance, Leonta, Montana, and Campeador should provide a good finish. Ten good hacks are Engaged in the Bnamahanga Hack. Mahzoltov won like a good horse at Wanganui. The quality of the acceptors for the Bracelet is very poor. Should Melodisj strip at all well, the event would he a gift for him. A good field should line up for the Opaki Welter. Ararat has got in rather light, taking a line through the Wanganui weights and performances, and should take some settling. Zetes and Jem appear the most dangerous. Tlie first day’s programme will he brought to a close with the Dash Hack, for which even! Marimba and Carlyaian are nicely placed.
