RACING AT PUKEKOHE

FRANKLIN FIXTURE THE ONEWHERO STEEPLES WAIKATO HORSES ENGAGED BE VIEW or THE PROSPSCTS 'By “Martian") Fin* fields are carded for th<* winter meeting, at Pukekohe. to-morrow, of the Franklin Racing Club, and with fine weather conditions the club should experience a most successful gathering. The principal event, the Onewhero Steeplechase, has attracted a wellbalanced fTeld and, as In the case of the balance of the programme, betting should be widely distributed. Win and place betting will be in operation. Following as the fields, with a review of the prospects:— 11.45 PUKEKAWA HACK HANDICAP Of *150; 7 rur and 22yds st. 11). st. lb.

Forest Acre has good form over the distance but a heavy track will not assist him. Abbey Lass, too .owuld be preferred more on top of the ground and under the circumstances Du Maurler, who handled the holding going well at headquarters the other morning, may be preferred. He has been off the scene for a spell, but has made splendid progress In recent weeks and should give a good account of himself to-morrow. Prlval performed consistently at Whangarei and won • t Avondale the first day. Dragon Moth makes appeal. She should be benefited by her race at Avondale the second day when she dead-heated with Superior Guard. Chief Lap and Mai de Mer are the best of the others ft In a rare in which preference may be shown for—nr MAI RTER DRAGON moth P.RIYAL 12 30 12.30 PAPAKURA HACK HURDLES Of f!70; 1 mile ana 5 tur. st. ir>. st. lb.

Hunting Star may improve on Avondale running, but lnnes Lad and High Star should both account for him. Th# latter will probably be the actual favourite as the result of his forward running at Avondale and what beats him should win. Gay Bronev and Count Rouslllon are likely Improvers with a chance, while Jan Ridd. who has been schooling in promising style. Is not without a chance. Lillie is known of the jumping credentials of Tane Mahutu. Queen Lu has been shaping satisfactorily in her schooling essays at Te Rapa, and My Money. Si we 11 and Slam have shown sufficient form to indicate that they will command a measure of support. The best fancied may be— HIGH STAR IXNES LAD MY MONEY—GAY BRONEY bracket.

Grateful has been rac ni with a consistency that will claim him an optfniistfc following and he may he hard to beat. Bonn Bay will be suited by the course and Yalniint. who has been shaping well »*n the tracks. Is not without a good chance in the event of heavy conditions obtaining on the day. Miss Lu. too. will be dangerous in soft going and she lias good form over a mile at Whangorel to commend her claims.

Windsor Lad indicated a return to form at Ellerslie recently but he will have to give of his best to hold off a number more favourably situated in the handicap. Sand-drift is a strong possibility. Mio Lume should be accounted for by Lucidus, who looks improved with racing. Kinkle comes in at a handy poundage and and must be respected on that account. while the improving Mv Money should beat the others. The final figures may favour file chances of— LUCIDUS Windsor lad MY MONEY

Gay Streak has been racing disappointingly of late, but may improve and Ringshot demonstrated at Whangarei that a winning turn for the Lackhani gelding is not far distant. Fleet wind has been w orking well and should laok little on the score of condition. Abbey Lass is a possibility and Myth and Barrister are not without prospects.

Bona Bay and Miss Ln .are also in the President’s Handicap but. if reserved, will have to he treated with respect. Lomacre and Tradesman have been shaping well on the tracks and a heavy track will appreciably enhance - ■ chances. Palustre is handily weighted for the pari and Te Hai. Tnnnere, Galilee and Land Girl will add interest to a race in which there should be good support for— TONNERRE SIR ABB TRADESMAN RIDING ENGAGEMENTS The following riding engagements are announced for the Franklin Racing Club's meeting:— A.
