ANTiCIPAT/ONS FOR KTfi.YT FORI).

Our Stratford correspondent writes :-.-V good ileal of verbal ami pecuniary .speculation is going on here over the probable winners of (he Stratford Cup and Flying. The (hip is a particularly open race, and the winner would be hard to name. On performances ilie Inp-woighl liana mi (8.13) looks good, but Muurosn (H.:i) is not by any means budly treated, and should "run well. Utile Turk at the .same weight, is dangerous, and his Wanganui performance shows that Ids connections have, some reason 1,, | H . conlidenl. Kusli'iiue (S.li) lms, so far, 1 believe, been doing very good work, and Perhaps has a better chance than in Ihe Flying willi K.ll. Rita (7.1 1) has a fair impost. She should have had the Cup (hat Frost won, but she has been so disappointing that punters in general will not have much to do with her. Siandra (7.0) is not much fancied here, but 11 Sin- has improved since ilnwera cannot be altogether passed over. Ihe WellingUm horse St . Winifred (0.10) is almost sure to start, and is very strongly fancied round here 01 the remaining three, Vacillate (<>.ll), Aureole (0.!)), and The Ilish<>l' (0-7), 1 prefer (he F.ltham horse (hough Vacillale has some .rice' and The Bislmp ], as „ ~,lher ..'ooii *hvle of galloping.
