IN THE WAIRARAPA

The Wairarapa Club’s programme for to-morrow and Monday is also an attractive one, with big entries for th® majority of the events. ROTOWHERO and BORSALENE

have been running fairly consistently of late, and they should not be entirely out of it in the Featherston Welter. In her outings at Awapuni HELOTIS has been racing well, and in her run in the Wharekaka Handicap she will be a better favourite than KING MIDAS. The two at the top of the handicap in the Nursery, HIGH DISDAIN and AUSTRALIS, together with Select, Banket, Concentrate arid Flying Binge, will dispute favouritism, it is a big field and an upset is not unlikely. The smallest field of the day will parade for the open sprint, the Kaiwaiwai Handicap, and ROYAL CERES and LICINIUS will be preferred to the unreliable Lausanne, who surprised at Awapuni the first day when he downed a good field. Those who witnessed the Manawatu Cup race hold the opinion that had Joy Bird not left the rails Lady Desmond would not have won, and in this

wise Joy Bird was unluckily beaten. The English mare is in the Wairarapa Cup, in which she will be opposed by good ones like the bracketed pair, Vertigern and David Garrick, Catkin, Limosa, Oratrix and Royal Game. Summed up by backers, they may prefer JOY BIRD and DAVID GARRICK. WILLOW WAI is an erratic customer, but if he does it right in the Wardell Handicap, he may account for at least ROYAL GAME, or if the latter is an absentee, for POLYPHEMUS. The unlucky Lucky Days is engaged in the Rimutaka Handicap, in which she will be meeting Ring Boy, Kindle, Royal Picture, Tone and Twink. The favourite way may be RING BOY and LUCKY DAYS. The following acceptances include

the rehandicaps of recent winners in Helotis, High Disdain, Concentrate, Lausanne, Royal Game, Oratrix and Tone: FEATHERSTON WELTER 7 furlongs. st lb st lb
