ANTICIPATIONS. [l:v "'.MOTl'no.i"]. The field in llie opening event, the Waimatc Hand cap, is practically the same as ill yesterday's Flying. Lady Annie meets It omenm l : on (ilbs better tonus'. and the Auckland mare will take some beating. Of the rth"rs I like Lovelink and D.'himcre. The finish may be L.tnv Axxiii 1 Boiimkhaxo 2 TJOVRMXK 3 In the Mata Hack Flat, Tantnru, Gleam, Itecrcation and Immolation appeal' a likely i|U',iridic. I like I'AUTOnr ... ... ... 1 j HiiruiUTiox 2 Gi.iuu ;l Only six figure in the Flthani Hurdles. Pharos, on Auckland form, must have a good chance with 10st. The place-getlers may be PHAROS 1 Duron 2 TCIIAMA 3 The Okaiawa Hack Hurdles appears open. Geologist, lnglewoul or Lionheart may furnish the winner, and I select them in that order : GKOI.OHIST 1 TNOI.EWOOH ... ... 2 Lkixhkaut 3 Ten have paid tip .for the Atkinson Memorial. Grenade (7.13) should again run a good race. Glcmillin will no doubt be favored bv the shorter distance and may gain a place. Mclodcon aud Nonelle should prove the best of the others, 1 like (rHliX.tftH 1 Gi.nxri.i.ix 2 XOXKTTK 3 In the Normanby Welter, Regulation, Pol.vcasle, Submarine aud Kuroki should be closely associated at (lie finish.
