CORONATION RACES

H.B. MEETING Review Of The Fields (By “ODDS ON.”) • The Hawke’s Bay autumn Coronation mee ing opens on Saturday and offers well filled events of seasoned acceptors. The single pool 75/20 will operate on the to.alisator. RJVERSL.EA HURDLES HANDICAP, of £l2O. One mile and a-half. — Journet 11.2, Lord Hereford 10.8, Tanmau 9.11, Iddo 9.3, Cotsfield 9.3, Unexpected 9.0. Jc-urnet may require this race at least as he looked beefy in recent racing. Lord Hereford has been accpted’ in favour of his stable mates, John Charles and Sybil Song, and may be more experienced, enabling him to run in ahead of a likely one in Iddo. Taumau has been schooled months ago and such a good highweight performsr may effect a surprise, but it looks like LORD HEREFORD, IDDO. IE * 6E POUKAWA MAIDEN, of £lOO. Five furlongs and a-half.—-Claver-court, Paul Robeson, Mona Lisa, Shani, Cletrac. Triplex, King’s Hope. Buster Brown, Mon Ace, Winitangi, Asset, Anubis, Gold Nymph 8.7.

The best performed of these maidens are Asset, King’s Hope and Winitai'gi, all having secured places, whilst Paul Robeson, Gold Nymph, Mon Ace, otani, and Mona Lisa have had several starts and are experienced. Anubis was expected first time up last -Monday and good support may be forthcoming here. Anything may win this type of maiden, but thosa filling places may be ASSET, KING’S HOPE, WINITANGI. * * * AUTUMN HANDICAP, of £lOO. Six furlongs.—Jazz Boy 8.7, Lacquer, Nereus 8.6, Fossicker 8.3, Quake 8.1, Gironde 7.13, Top Hat 7.10, Mohua, Marsyas, Phrenology, Helios, Colleen Gain 7.7. The Jazz Boy—Top Hat bracket should be in fair demand, but even with two chances, Lacquer, with S) Wilson as pilot, and Nereus, may overshadow them. Fossicker also may command premier attention on the machine and Gironde should bo well fancied. Quake has been off form lately, but a return would complicate things. The remaining five are quite good: hacks in this class and a surprise could easily emanate therefrom. Anything must be at a good pricey so considerLACQUER, NEREUS, JAZZ BOY—TOP HAT bracked. * * * HAWKE’S BAY CUP HANDICAP, of £275. One mile and a-quarter.— Big Dook 9.0, Werohia 8.10, Catalogue 8.6, Pladie 8.4, Master Cyklon 8.4, Haut Monde, Gay Boy 8.3, Pakanui 8.2, Mandamus 7.13, Padishah 7.10, Passion Flower, Soho, Charade, King’s Lancer 7.7. • This splendid field of fourteen represent good class to compete for the stake and Gold Cup valued at £5O. Big Dook, fresh from his recent success. must attract many supporters and' reads well. Werohia, second on Saturday in a field of nine, promises danger and may be at only half last prijcel. Catalogue, with no luck in the running, may considerably improve on a fourth placing, whilst Pladie has trained on well from recent successes and ridden by S. Wilson appears a good prospect. Master Cykion should' win at this or Hawera’s meeting. Gay Boy gets in with 8.3, and as stated last week only needs to commence with -them to again stroll in. Should conditions be favourable Haut Monde and Mandamus.w;ll keep them moving and both are freely chosen to ojccupy places. Pakanui sadly failed both days, but that was not true form—watch him; The remaining five hardly measure up to those chosen at these weights, but Charade may not be chanceless. Try i them thus PAIKANUI, MASTER CYKLON, MANDAMUS. I * * * NURSERY HANDICAP, of £lOO. Five furlongs and a-half.—The Crooner 9.5, Felicitation 8.8, Son and Heir Money Raid 8.1, Airini 7.9, Knightsbridge, Kalika, Mary Rosel Lindrum, Sly Fox 7.7. The Crooner has- performed so well .

amongst the best two-year-olds this

season and even with 9.5 may be the public choice. Felicitation is small but speedy and very courageous. Better doings may be expected of Son and Heir from now onwards. Money Raid and Airini make more -appeal than the remainder. THE CROONER, FELICITATION, SON AND HEIR. * * * HERETAUNGA HANDICAP, of £lOO. One mile and one furlong.— Lucullus Lad 9.3, Blue Garter 8.10, Seyfried 8.2, Tupai, Black Fox 7.12, Hamarin 7.9, Grey Molly, Agog, Parry, Trailer, Dusky Crown, Umpire 7.7. One (lefector leaves a round dozen wherein Lucullus Lad may have many supporters. Blue Garter stood on the mark one day and slow away -the first day at Woodville may enjoy better fortune to extend them all, but Seyfried makes greatest appeal Hamarin must, be ready for ano'her, and should gain a place, whilst Agog sits pretty and may effect a surprise. Black Fox, Tupai and Parry are not chanceless and appeal over the residue. Saluting the judge may be SEYFRIED, HAMARIN, AGOG. * * * HAVELOCK FLYING HANDICAP, of £l5O. Six furlongs.—Lavina 9.0, Sir Nigel 8.7, Solaria, Hunter’s Morn 8.3, Blygain 8.1, Royal Banquet 8.0, Gasman 7.11, Royal Bengal, Contact, Wananga 7.7. Ten acceptors wi.hout a previous engagement should see a full field bearing a very open aspect, every runner a prospective winner. Lavina has very slowly gone up in weights, which may account tor her continued success, thus Sir Nigel, fit as a fiddle, makes more appeal. Solaria has so often been selected in better company, only to fail, that he' must be given a place as he is declared right. Hunter’s Morn has only to commence with them to win. Blygain and Gasman are useful and may be dangerous here. Contract was operated on for wind' trouble and this appears to be his first start since, in preparation for -hurdEftig. -Ro-yal Banquet), Royal Bengal and Wananga are reported fit and are not 'chanceless, but those securing places may ba SIR NIGEL, GASMAN, SOLARIA.
