WAIPA RACING CLUB.

Form Reviewed For Next Saturday.

The Waipa Racing Club’s meeting on Saturday has drawn splendid acceptances and should produce interesting racing as a preliminary io Ellerslie. The following is a review of the fields by "Odd’s On.” Proceedings open with the W. G. Park Hurdles run over miles and is headed by that good jumper ERINATION with recent form on the flat to enhance his prospects. Lucidus, hurdles with luck against him and may - secure a place, but that good hurdler Delrain, with two wins on the’ flat lately, reads better. Racewhip, a successful young jumper, has bright prospects, and with Mio Lume will carry support. Sandrift, entered under the name of Sandfly, won easily' recently in weaker company’ and promises well. There is a whisper that English Knight is very fit. Survahna and Grand Score are not chanceless. Great appeal is made by DELRAIN racevVHip LUCIDUS « * * In the Kikikihi Hack Handicap over six furlongs Gloucester and Johnny Walls, now racing at their best, will be difficult for the improving Torch to dispose of. Cappy and Palustre both recent winners, may be close up, whilst Round Up on the weights greatly appeals. Ford Acre will soon be ready for another, and Cheval De Volee only requires a fair run to salute the judge. Fox Moth is improving, but the others will be at long prices. Those filling places may be TORCH ROUfoD UP JOHNNY WALLS

In the Waipa Plate run over six furlongs (weight for age) Trouvaille has shown promise and secured placings calling for support. Glenation Is smart and may' have trained bn from his New Plymouth-Wanga-nui ttip to merit attention. King Neptune produced a Splendid second to Valamito and may be .the public fancy. Girl Pat is now a Well seasoned 2-year-oid filly, and distinctly dangerous, whilst Disturbed is ft pronrisifig 2f-year-old colt. Ngakaru, Prince Rangi, Racela and Taiaha will carry support with the remainder outsiders. Those with distinct chances appear to be GLENATION KING, NEPTUNE TROUVAILLE • • •

The first nine weighted for the Te Awamutu Cup have accepted, whereas but one of the bottom ten remains in, indicating a rqal quality tussle. Master Brierly' should have raced into form by now, and granted firm conditions, may be preferred before the three following.. Jonathan shows a return to good form, whilst Mazir and Scotland are ready and may be well supported. Dark Shadow and Sinking Fund, on recent form, strongly appeal. Should Prince Colossus reproduce his last performance he

may again win. Mungatoon, Trades-1 man and Lornacre cannot be ignored, { Lornacre’s running out of hacks attracting notice. Those placed may be DARK SHADOW MASTER BRIERI.Y SINKING F. ND ; • • • ! The Hack Cup run over eight and ; a-half furlongs, may find Loombination and Valpai well supported, but Valrent is due to secure a winning bracket here. Quadroon will carry strong support, whilst Vera Acre, Rulette and Dutch Girl all possess strong prospects. Lady - Voyonne may produce the surprise but should | Swift Spear leave the barrier a place j is his. The remainder are not with-1 out chances, but those gaining places j may he ; VALRF.NT ! VALPAI 1 LADY VOYONNE

In the Ohaupo Hack Handicap over seven furlongs, Sunny Downs al the lop, has no recent form, but Little Artist is here due to break it. Gay Sister and Bonnie Song will deservedly be well supported. Racette Ellanui and Beseige, whose prospects are equally' bright, may attract many. The remainder call only for moderate support. Place brackets may be earned by' LITTIE ARTIST BONNIE SONG , GAY SISTER * ♦ * • The Flying Handicap over six furlongs, comprises a comfortably sized field. Gallilee will carry the weight and is a danger here. Adalene has been searching for a sprint win, and with Star Aitist at top form may secure places. Mungacre is due for another at any time, whilst Tonnerre is speedy. Erge perfectly fit, returned to sprints last May, performing satisfactorily and though perhaps hardly' expected, is capable of surprising. Solaria only requires the hop out to succeed. Sweet Rose, a recent mile winner, has enjoyed success over this distance and strongly appeals. Gay Seton and Mangukaha at long prices are not. chanceless. Place getters may be SWEET ROSE ADALENE. STEAR ARTIST

The Paterangi Handicap over seven furlongs may find Namakia at the ftp public fancy. Tradesman (if reserved), Sergia, Musquil and Miss Lu all command equal support, but both Wahine Reihij and Tuaheahe strikinglyl appeal for places. King’s Archer, Keith Lu, and Lady Diana are all capable for producing the boil over for .the last race. Those appealing most are WAIHINE REIHI NAMAKIA TUAHEAHE
