Gesture has failed to reproduce her true form this t-auson, two " thirds —New Zealand Oaks and .Feilding . Stakes—being tho 'best she could do. Amnion Ra "won tho Great Northern Foal Stakes and the Royal Stakes at Ellerslie well, and he will have plenty of support. With Karapoti out of the way he reads well.

"* Tobacco Land, ■ prior to coming to Auckland for- the summer- meeting, where , hie ran third in the Fcrgiisson Handicap, one mile, won three six furlough events on end, and he should go well. Ho was rather unlucky at Ellerslie, meeting with interference. Sir Kay will not niako the trip.

ARISUS AL JOLSON MASTER ANOMALY,

The Fitzherbert Handicap.

The Fitzherbert Handicap is an event for two-year-olds. Hampdon won tno Orona Nursery Handicap, Hve furlongs, at Feilding, beating a good iield, while ho was third in the* Juvenile Handicap at Woodvillc and won the Nursery Handicap at Manawatu. Solvent won two events in her first two starts at the Canterbury Jockey Club's spring meeting, but failed at Auckland, though she was not quite right on the latter occasion. She has since been galloping brilliantly at Riccarton. Chief Cook was third in the Irwell Handicap at Kiccarton and won the. Spring Nursery at the same fixture, and was placed in both juvenile events at Woodvillc Royal Artist has not much to commend him recently. Dulen showed good form in the South at the Dunedin and Southland meetings winning at the last fixture. High Comedy has yet to finish in .the money. The same remark applies to Psychologist Furlong was second in the Oroua Nursery Handicap at .Fielding. Fedora showed a lot 6f pace at Auckland and finished third in the Sylvia Handicap, six furlongs, in her last effort. Whjtc

Squall, who occupied a similar position in the Nursery Handicap at the same fixture, may be the best of the others. The public may go for

SOLVENT FEDORA DULEN. The Big Event. The Wellington Cup is the chief event of the day and it has drawn an excellent field. Nightmarch should go better than he did in the Auckland Cup with a similar impost. Historic and Concentrate are eaid to be doubtful starters, but if they were at.their best they would have to be seriously considered. Star Stranger'has had plenty of racing, but his form has not been good this season. Gay Crest, after passing tile post first in the' Auckland, Cup and eventually winning the A.R.C. Handicap, will be one of the favourite division. In the Shade disappointed at Ellerslie but may do better to-morrow. First Acre won over a mile and three-quarters at Flemington arid showed he was in form by running second in the Foxton Cup last. week. Cylinder is stated to have been suffering from a jarred joint, but ho pulled up all right on Saturday, and if he' is started he should take a lot of beating. Merry Damon was just beaten by a head by Historic in the Manawatu Cup and is stated to bo. very'v-wdll. Goshawk was second in the Christmas Handicap at Ellerslie, while Vcrtigcrn and Count Palatine, did not impress at the same fixture. My Own won the Metropolitan Handicap, one mile and a half, at Riccarton, and finished third in the A.R.C. Handicap at Ellerslie, which entitles her to. : respect. Royal Parade won the Wairarapa Cup, one mile and a. quarter," recently, while of, those lower down Compris looks the best. Most money may go on

CYLINDER, GAY CREST, NIGHTMARCH.' . The Anniversary Handicap. First Sight, who is at tlic head of those engaged in the Anniversary Han--dicap, won in Australia, but failed at Ellei-slic' However, he is pretty good when right and the racing up here may have improved him. Habit has raced consistently this■• season, winning the Clandeboyue Handicap, one mile and 110 yards, at Manawatu and the Turakina Handicap, seven furlongs, at Marlon', while she has been placed on another four occaeions. Full Feather has not much,to commend him this eea-son, but Black Duke has been racing well on the West Coast. Love Song- accounted for tho Goodwood Handicap, one mile, at Ellerslie iii her Last effort. She is very speedy. Caterpillar is a useful sort, while Desert Song has performed well this season, winning over nine furlongs at Manawatu, while she was fourth in tho 'Marton Cup and second in tho Aidworth Stakes, nine furlongs, at Marton during the holiday meeting. Mount Boa has also raced well in the south, while Cadland showed good form at the Manawatu meeting, winning a six-furlong event and being placed on another- occasion. Noteworthy may be the best of the others. Those that may be best supported are

LOVE SONG, HABIT, DESERT SONG. The Big Sprint. The Telegraph Handicap 'forms the other "leg" of the double. Hunting. Cry won the Eailway Handicap nicely .at Auckland, while Consent annexed the Fitzherbert Handicap, the chief six furlongs race on the opening day at Manawatu.

Bayacre annexed the sprint race at Levin, the Queen's Plate at Auckland, and was narrowly defeated in the Newmarket Handicap, six furlongs, at Ellerslie in record time for the course.

(Heap, six furlongs, on tlic last, day at Auckland, while Cuticle allowed winning form at Hawkc's Bay. Blue Paper also won at Mamiwatu, ami Havaspot at Ellerslic. Of the otlicr.s, Palermo may Lc the best. Those- who will probably make most appeal are
