ERLICK'S FAILURE.
LIKELY TO DO BETTER. When Erlick contested the Auckland Handicap at the Pakuranga Hunt meeting last month solid support was accorded him, but the best he could do was to finish fourth. He showed abundance of speed in the race, and it was only over the final stages that he showed -signs of weakening. When a horse is entrusted with plenty of money it. is. invariably a sure indication that- his prospects are highly regarded, so Elrick may do better before the season .is much further advanced. PARTIAL TO COURSE. In the past Anion has run some of his best races on the Avondale course, and if produced in the right order for the approaching meeting to-be held there this month he should be worth following. "He is engaged in the Champion Plate on the first day and the Spring Handicap on the concluding day. Two seasons ago Anion beat a useful field in the Champion Plate, and it would not surprise were he to repeat that performance next Saturday week.
