Big Fields will Race at Stratford

CARD UNDER REVIEW good horses in the cup There should be no dearth of runners at Stratford on Monday and Tuesday, f° r the acceptors on the opening day are many. RESINOUS has been in the boom for over a year, but has been off the weenie until raced this week. GASNAPPER and he may be the prime fancies. In the Tariki High-weight Handicap AIRTIGHT and WHISOGNE are nicely placed and promise to bo well backed. Iless than two dozen remain in the Stratford Cup, and the winner

should take some finding. YOMAand LADY DESMOND are a Taranaki pair that will not lack support no matter how many line up. HIGHFLOWN ran a first and a third at New Plymouth this week, and he and another Northerner in URALLA, who won on Tuesday, will be heavily backed.

If GOLDEN "WEDDING is kept for the Juvenile Handicap the filly should give her supporters a big run for their money. GOLD DAWN and the Aucklander will carry most of the money.

Although LADY CAVENDISH failed pt Awapuni on Thursday she should be in demand in the Douglas Handicap, together with TOWN BIRD, who can do better than his efforts at New Plymouth would indicate.

BISOX and BRIGHT GLOW will be well fancied for the Midhurst Hack, while among a big field in the concluding event, the Railway Hack, the favourites may be SUBDIVISION and BKA.

The acceptances follow, and these show the rehandieaps for Royal Acre, Onward, Whisogne. Vivo, Lady Desmond, Manly, Uralla, Highflown, Melissa, Warflame, Partaga, Tip Tree.
