Royal Game, who has raced prominently over middle distances recently, figures in the Marangai Handicap, to be run on the opening day of the Wanganui meeting. This horse accounted for the Islington Handicap on the concluding day of the Grand National meeting" last month, and also ran another good race when he finished third to Barometer and Black Mint at Marton last week. Royal Game has previously shown to advantage on the Wanganui course, being successful in the Higgie Handicap at the corresponding meeting twelve months ago With the racing he has had during the past month or two Royal Game should be well served as regards condition, and with 7.9 in the Marangai Handicap he will have a further opportunity to add to his record.
