WEEK-END RACING.

AWAPUNI OPENS FRIDAY. Review of the Fields. (BY “ODDS ON.") The Manawatln Racing Club’s meeting opens on Friday with large fields of acceptors. Most races provide wide fields of selections, t-’obably supplying dividends, when the single pool system of wagering will be in operation. Karere Hurdles Handicap, of £175; one mile and three-quarters.,—Mana-watu 11.5, Beau Gallante 11.4, Hunting Queen 10.9, Sporting Song 10.8, Bazaine 10.3, Royal Mimic 9.2, Count Willonyx 9.0. Manawatu is about ready but perhaps Beau Gallante and Hunting Queen may be better prospects. Sport'ing Song and Bazaine are both fit and may also carry considerable Support, whilst Count Willonyx and Royal Mimic are not chanceless. Those securing places may be BEAU GALLANTE. HUNTING QUEEN. COUNT WILLONYX. * * * Autumn Plate, of £120; seven furlong.?.—Black Fox, Galteemore, Gay Ruby, Glenthawn. Golden Enterprise, Gay Laddo Kourarua, Lactose, Naughty Marietta, Puroto. Relative, River Feale, Rahotahi—all 8.7. Naughty Marietta has shown marked abili y around, Taranaki meetings and looks a distinctly good prospect here. Puroto should be well suited and a recent second placing in a highweight is suggestive of a place. Glenthawn also, is dangerous and Golden Enterprise another possibility. Black Fox, Galteemore and Gay Ruby also will carry fair support. relative is an interesting entrant who has been finishing on in six furlong events and her connections in placing her here must have expectations. Saluting the judge may ba HAUGHTY MARIETTA. FELATiVE. PUROTO. * * * Prince of Wales Handicap, of £300; one mile and one furlong.—Taitoru 9.3, Chief ikanger 9.2, Onewhetu 8.13, Pukeko 8.8, Big Dook 8.6, Master Cyklou 8.6, Arctic King 8.5, Gay Boy 8.3, Korero 8.0, Catalogue 8.0, Rona Bay 7.12, Sunee 7.11, Haut Monde 7.10, Mandamus ','.10, Curie 7.9. Royal Secret 7.8, Boomerang 7.8, Lord Moutoa 7.7, Gold Mission 7.7, Bun Fight 7.7, AH Spirit 7.7 A v'onderfu field of 21 should show spirited betting and the winner must produce a good price. Taitoru an:® Chief Ranger have recently earned -heir big imposts and as good as they are, may find difficulty carrying them to victory here. Onewhetu has been knocking but hie weight appears more than hi) placings dfemand. Pukeko on Hop form is a good prospect and Big Dook is due here. Master Cyklon las reached his apparent weight-cai lying ability. Arctic King and Gay Boy ,are very likely ones but greater appeal comes from Korero with only eight, stone. Catalogue, Rona Bay and Sunee warrant attention but Haul Monde and Mandlamus appeal ovei the last 12 carded and both possess splendid chances. Possible place getters arekorero. MANDAMUS. BIG DOOK. * * * Woodhey Hack Handicap, of £150; six furlongs.—Erebur. 9.3, Brazen King 9.3, Airing 8.12, Old Surrey 8.8, Winsome Lu 8.3, Rustem 8.3, Allunga 8.3, The Bigot 8.3, Silver River 8.2, Imposture 8.2, Eara 8.1, Fcssicker 7.12, Girona 7.10, Good Sun 7.10, Patagonia 7.7, Chat 7.7, Golden Chest 7.7, Malibu 7.7, Erebus and Brazen King are form horses but may find -some, one stone lower down, disputing the issue with them. Airing android: Surrey must go well. Rustem looks quite likely whilst Eara and Imposture are in lightly and strongly appeal. Allunga and The Bigot will have plenty of support whilst Mister Qvex, Winsome Lu, Fossicker, Gironde and Golden Chest also deserve consideration. Saluting the judge may be RUSTEM. EARA. , -n-T.-r-imposture, * * * Cloverlea Nursery Har.dioap, of £175; about five furlongs and a half. —Alanage 8.6, Son and Heir 8.6, Bluffer 7.9, Vadande 7.9, Final 7.9, Laughing Chief 7.8, Scarf Dance 7.8, Girl Pat 7.7, Aureus 7.7, Lickem 7.7, St. Cedric 7.7, Gay Molly 7.7, Settlement 7.7, Raana 7.7, Hunting Lore 7.7, Huling Spy 7.7. Places at the post with the jump out may assist here. Elange -secured a good third on Monday and with 61b less is the form horse. Son and Heir, “all -experienced: also, should be close. Bluffer, little raced, is cons id-

cred able “o win. Girl Pat mry stage something expected of hr, to -secui'e second .berth. Aureus is good anu likely, whilst Scarf Dance, off the scene with colds, may be r'ady again: Lickem and Set lenient have a strong following at H-awera and have prospects. Gay’ Molly, Laughing Chief and Hunting Lore may have- friends, but likely ones are ELANGE. GIRL PAT. BLUFFER. * * * Awapuni Cup, of £350; one mile and a quarter.—Hazoor 9.2, Catalogue 9.2, Arctic King 9.2, Big Dook 9.2, Dungarvan 9.0, Entail 9.0, Wild Chase 8.6.

Ben Braggie won to convincingly at Feilding to command support here. Pakanui has been fit .some Vhile uo-w and races well when fresh. Black Thread always considered good, also won at Feilding and wi ll Great Hope and Lady Ina strongly appeals. Hunting Mars, Severe and- Land Tax are likely whilst Peter Beckford; has no recent form for guidance. The result may be PAKANUI. BEN BRAGGIE. GREAT HOPE. * * * Te Matai Hack Handicap, of £150; one mile and a furlong 8.10, Sanhedrin 8.7, Maestro 8.6, Lady Siegfried 8.2, Earl Colossus 7.13, Tail Light 7.13, Myriam -7.13, Corroboree 7.9, Happing Hunting 7.9, Te Broney 7.7, Cloudy Bay 7.7, Missal 7.7, Seyfried 7.7, Racecall 7.7, Agog 7.7. Here is a field of 15 without a previous engagement—spirited betting on the last race—and a dividend. There it not a large disparity in the weights andl Roaming has prospects. Sanhedrin revels in this distance and Maestro appears Well treated, will a royal chance. Lady Siegfried, Earl Cblqtsus, Tail Light ’ and Myriam should all command support. Corroooree is one who may make amends and Cloudy Bay is a splendid “long shot.” Missal and Agog need watching whilst Happy Hunting, Te Broney and Seyfried are not chanceless.
