Sixteen maidens will tax patrons' endeavours to locate the winner. Orefield has much more racing ex perienee and my justify support. Silver Sound may be a provable middle fancy wh’lsi Ivy Willonyx has. recent good form. Vivacious locally trained is liked and with Brilliant Acre, Romani, Frances Acre, Susan and Miss Appellant should receive fair support. From a wide range of fancies may emerge OREFIELD. SUSAN.

Aymon 8.7, Gay Rebel 8.7, Broney 8.6, Solo Song 8.6, Impellant, Droll. Royal Mistake, Athea, Thurwind 8.0. Nine acceptors here also claim later engagements, consequently selection is much more difficult, but if started Professional or Solo Song deserve priority closely followed by Glen Abb and Stra.thire. Racemosus and Jewelled Girdle may find their ■burdens troublesome, but Le Femme Noire, Gay Rebel, Te Broney and Droll have good prospects. Grand City l and Impellant are not chanceless but saluting the judge may be PROFESSIONAL AND SOLO SONG (if started). GLEN ABB.

Orefield 9.0, Doilio 9.0, Grand Score 9.0. This is a poor field of jumpers. The top-weight, Spearcourt, may be a reasonable public choice, blip Hawthorn lias syime commendable placings for consideration, whilst High Star has been fencing pleasingly. Boughal hat yet to prove himself, but Grand Score was a strong prospect for hurdles 16 months ago and may upset things. Dark Princess only requires to s(tand up Ito gain a place.

Diatomous 8.3, Prince Acre 7.12, Horowhenua 7.12, Johnny Walls 7.10, Whakapara 7.7, Bellkyrian 7.7. Triune Is lit and carries weight well and at, the weights may hold Tosh safe, but .the later’s recent, sue* ces: may draw plenty of support. Flrince Acre looks to he the elect with Johnny Walls a close second. Diatomous, Bellkyrian and. Hioro whenuu, have poor form but Whakapara likes Chis course. These weights point, to ’ PRINCE acre. JOHNNY WALLS. TRIUNE. * * * Maungatapere Hack Handicap, of £100; six furlongs.—Racemosus 8.13, Surella 8.9; Palustre 8.8, Professional 8.7, Grand City 8.2, Okawa 8.0, Dutch Girl 7.11, Gold Pocket, Gay Rebel, Impellant, Ivy Willonyx, Droll, Gai Wind, Hopalong, Solo Song, Aymon 7.7. Of the 14 runners 11 have other engagements further complicating matters. Palustre appears -the moqi likely and certainly is due for one, but Professional returning to six furlongs must. be a good prospect ‘Where stared. Surella, ‘an, ungenerous coir, has a full load, is always expected, and may win any time. Racemosus', Grand City, Okawa, Dutch Girl and Solo Song oil deserve respect. From this complicated assessment may emerge PALUSTRE. PROFESSIONAL. SURELLA. * * * Waipu Handicap, of £130; one mile.—Te Hai 9.7, High Tea 9.1, Whakapara 8.8, Gay Broney 8.6, Sergia 5.6, Survoy, Bonny Gay, Vera i Acre, Te Broney, Lady Appellant, ■ Lady’s Boy.

Gay Broney, Te Hai and Bonny Gay, should, follow in that order. Sergia. I Survoy and Vera Acre are three ‘who deserve fair support whilst Te Broney, Lady's Boy and Dutch Girl are not. chanceless, but places may be gained by i . HIGH TEA. VERA ACRE. SURVOY.
