Adr-rttedry brtto Excellency's j b/ier%:re 'left'‘remarkably ; fe - rxne* mat could not run a mile., However. v. r_at may oe toe deciding factor wito Excellency 1* her b-.-ance. The ’ ©t.ter3 will care to catch posed entirely of racks. On toe form awrt to date, toe two most likely to expose ary weakness in nzceiiency'’s sta- , nt ma are Coral Arc and Kartikeya. Both have been. fimtomg or at toe end of seven furfongs and -sell be suited by toe adetitsczal furlong. Coral Arc na- raced very consstentiy this season and toe only time that be did not come up to expectation* was in toe John Grigg Stakes Kartikeyas tratrilrty to hold a pccziaon in toe early stages of a race has prevented him from wtotto-g a race on —.ore than one oecaston Over a mile, wfto a small aesd to contend wito, Karttoeya will have 2 better chance to find has feet, and n-ototog wto be doing better over toe last furOf toe remainder. Bay Fort is toe only Kiely place-getter. His two races this peasor. win nave improved mm, and ridden m behmd. he shotod see the journey out well en-.-ngh. The form of toe rezram.ee.- has teec very ordlrary to date The field is likely to be a small one. Slick M aao engaged to toe Milburu Handicap and to addition to Oberon and Edwin Fox which have been scratched Harley is out fer a sped, and one or two others may not take their place to toe fieid. Grandstand Handicap The field m toe Grandstand Handicap is very little streeger than that to toe Handicap on toe first day. With the prospect of toe going bemg very holding, toe top-weight, Signal Officer, may not start. On a firm track he would have been hard to beat, even with 9-13. Joygiver's pmepects will have improved with toe easing of toe gomg. but he would need to show some improvement on last week's form. Lord Dundonald failed badly on the firm going last Saturday, but with a change of track conditicng he may reproduce the form he showed at hrs two previous start®. Eriskay was finishing on to f-ourth place to the October Handicap last Saturday, and the race will feave improved her. Eriskay proved a useful mare in middle distance handicaps and ss not far off her best. Boolamskee was not started last Saturday because of the firm tracks, but wffl have conditions to his hking to-morrow. The Grand Kational Hurdles winner is quite a capable performer on the fiat, more so than Ihs record shows, and with 7-10 win be difficult to hold off at the finish. Loyal Lady won the mile October Handicap bnLiantiy last Saturday, and tho«igh ■he has yet to be tried over this distance there is no reason why she should hot see out the joumey. She has won ©’.er nine furlongs to hack company, and looks a good light-weight prospect. She had previous experience of heavy going at Wiagatui when toe ran second to Psalm in the Dunedin Guineas two year* ago. Hakim has shown no form s-nce he joined A. E. Didham's stable. He has shown his best form on heavy tracks, and will have his chance here. I-ast season Hakim won the Wellington Handicap at the Wellington Racing Club’s spring meeting at Awapuni, and ran fourth to toe Hew Zealand Cup. Hansel was not suited by the muddling pace in the Ranfurly Handicap last Saturday, and 'm a truly run race might be more difficult. Brockie ran one of his bad races last Saturday but has shown up on heavy tracks before, and may show nnpravement. Riding engagements are:—L. J. EDis Kartikeya, Stand To, Glen Cona, Trident: G. J. Hampton. Baikis Golden Hope Sedgemere; H. J. Ford, Boolamskee, Baj Gun di. Flibbertigibbet; A. Stokes, Cora Arc; L. Hare, Beaugarc. W. F. Ellis Grand Pal.
