Tfe hu« ' no recent form, lie ing unplaced in his only stint this season. Itnpa Waiatu. I won the Moteo Hurdles at Napier Park last month and Lovelilt has been placed in two hurdle; races recently, including a third to Solio and lildo at the Tlawke's Bay meeting last month. Agog has nlso lieen in the money and should show up again. Those likely to I>e in demand are LOVTCLILT RAPA WATATA AOOO. The Maiden. $■;> Several speedy novices are engaged in the Okawa Maiden, in which Hastings West, Sunny Lass and Laughing Song have the best credentials. Hastings West has been placed in his last three starts . and is a likely improver. He finished third to Kurlscourt and Morning Flight in the Maiden Plate at Hastings last month and later ran second to Proclamation in a similar event on the same course. Sunny Lass was second to Mendelssohn over six furlongs at Napier Park recently, and that form will ensure her support. Laughing Song has been placed ■' in several juvenile events and sliould show up in this class. Centrepoise appeals most of the others. Most support may come for LAUGHINO SONO HASTINGS WEST |P|v:; SUNNY LASS. The Hunt Cup. '- Power Chief,- who heads the list in the ;., Hawke's Bay Hunt Cup, is a promising. \i" young 'chaser. He won.the Hunt Cup at Kllerslie last month,, and if he repeats |y .. fhftt form he will be hard to beat. Master Hector ran second to. Artful :•/,. .Dodger in a minor steeplechase at , V/angauui, but Skerry vore appeals H more, as lie beat a useful field when he ■; won the Hawke's Bay Steeples last ' month. Interlocutor won the Hunt Cup at Dannevirke recently, but the clans w:is moderate. Royal Toast and Lady " Callaghan have both been in the money :, previously. The form horses are POWER CHIEF ' , , SKERRYVORE MASTER HECTOR. ' ;' The Rivertlea. ;, ■ Haniarin had two wins recently over ' >\ mile and is sure to get .good supV ' port in the Riverslea Handicap.
