Two previous winners at the meeting, f pearthiiixt ii nd tireen Him. will meet in the Dmiiiiin Handicap, while Combat. Kippen and Lady Sincere are a trio with place form in the earlier hack event*. Of thU lot Sponrthrust nnd Ctrppn Boa are engaged also later in the diiy, over ii longer journey. Dunedin Steeples. Tile Dnnedin Steeplechase has drawn right acceptors, several with recent form. <!oUi Wren won oil the first dny. ■when Rifle Range was a poor third. Kl Caballo won in hack company on the two eai■ lit"i" tiny*, mill looks an improver. Chile, iin uncertain jumper, was third on Monday. Muck Rainier hud his only ]irevimis start at the meeting on the flat, in the Duke of Gloucester Cup. He in the oiit»taiidiug steeplechaser in Smithlnnd. winning three races at the Rivertoti Ranter meeting , . On the film I day he parried 12.ft. Kl Cnballo being a poor Hccond with l>.o, while flold Wren, 10,1.1, wan further back. It Iμ obvious, however, that Kl Culm lln and (iold Wren aro inurd better hor«e» now.

Three winner** earlier in tn<* meeting clash in the King (leorge Handicap. !Nightcalm scored »t six furlongs, but showed in the spring that he could run a mile. Thermidor may tin<l the distune* a trifle too short, but has to be Tespeeted when In form. Second Innings i« capable of a good mile, though he came t'nipi the back in his two previous races at die meeting. Painaform may appreciate a mile. Spanish I.ml run a solid race to lie second on Monday, and Roy Finn is n strong possibility. I'eter•liiini has been racing well lately. So has Sir Hitjjh. He is in another race, and will be hard to beat, whichever he contests. Xifjht Hawk has jiwt failed more than once at a mile and a half, and the distance should suit him.

' Sir Hugh Likely. Of the ten horses that figure in the Tiilnul Handicap. Second Inning", Arabnn, Vnlatitlia, Sir Hujrh, Straijjhtdel «nd Skyrena are in other races. Of thin lot Sir Hujrh may be the best, if he if* reserved. Lazybones won on Monday, with Straijrlitdel and Silver Streak in the places, and l,n/ylione« will need to improve to beat the other pair apiiiri. under his rise in weight. There is recent form in the field for the A Id worth Handicap, fireen Boa arid SpearthriiMt won earlier in the meetinjr.
