Filet Mignon is expected to follow up a splendid win last Saturday by beating a stronger field in the Forfjury Three-year- . old Handicap on the second m<ht of the Forbury Park Trotting Club’s Festival Cup meeting tomorrow. She was always handy last Saturday and strode away over the final furlong to win most convincingly. A dark brown filly by U. Scott from La Mignon, a brilliant pacer, Filet Mignon is trained at Yaldhurst by G. B. Noble for Mr R. A. McKenzie, . of Wellington.

Filet Mignon looks as though she will graduate to a tight mark later and tomorrow’s race should be a splendid opportunity for her to take another step towards the best company.

Gay Bobta. a Uiambw ef A. M. Pardon's Prebbteton is a newccaasr to the meet* Ing. Ths MOW ante eoit paced a fine race for a dose fourth ta foe O. X Watson nianaaw Btakas at Hororata last Saturday and be will have to show very little lm> provvnsnt to be a serious threat In this Bold. Gay Kobin has been lightly raced since he was tat produced at Hutt Park at the end of last October. Ha has shown greet potential and should take part in the finish of this race.

Sirretta found Filet Mignon too goad on the first night at Forbury Park. She has aa advantage of 11 yards in the handicaps tomorrow, but even that is unlikely to be sufflcient to enable her to beat Filet Mignon. Sven so, her chances of reaching a place

once more took to be particularly bright.

Aufiesm received a shocking kun in Saturday’s race when she cams .in for surprisingly heavy support caasidering her lack of form. H she begins more cleanly she could be hard to boat

Put Time, a colt by Hal Tryax from Banua, has shown ability in the Utile racing he has had and he might take part in the finish, u also might Dorothy Jean and the highly-regarded Southland geliing, Garry Kant, whiehtebedMuraker on M yards.

urday, when Free Retain was successful, and the event should provide one of the most interesting contests of the night Several of the candidates for the nee an expected to be on hand for the Royal mseting at Hutt Park on February 11 and interact will be taken in their efforts. Our Own will no doubt be a Ann favourite. She was a spfondid third to When and Riwistrr when the former greeted a new mile record at Addincton on January X That day. Our Own was slow away and showed great speed to finish so does. The Southland mare. Poupette. is expected to offer moat opposition to Our Own. She faded to seventh fa When’s record-breaking nee

on January 3 after being forced wide early. But the previous day she beat Resistor and Our Own most convfostagly over 13 furlongs after forcing all of the pace. Poupette has previously shown splendid form at Forbury Park and she should be capable of • bold showing. ftee Return’s splendid win on Saturday, after breaking and losing some M yards in tho, first ftuiong, entitles him

to consideration In gptta of] the rise in the dam of the opposition. The Wayfarer

gelding looks handily-placed on 12 yards and if he makes his usual sale beginning, he win be hard to boat

Doctor Kyle wu beaten narrowly by Free Return last Saturday and meets him on mud* more favourable tanas this week. Doctor Kyle has not been noted for consistency in recent months, but when he shows hie best he to capable of holdtag his own in the top company. Harbour Light trotted a sound raee on Saturday and could again be prominent. However, a newcomer. Astralight, looks favourably placed oo the front and should be a bettor prospect. Dark Lome and Control could also shew to advantage, but they wffl find Our Own and Poupette hard to head. DOUBLE RACES The double will be run on U»e Kew Handicap and the Vanese and Aibltas form a likely trio for the first teg, while Cairnbrae, Avante, and Robin Dundee might do best ta toe second leg. The meeting between LordAlp and Falsehood in the Third Qualifying Heat of the Dunedin Festival Cup will be a highlight of the night have the edge en’prieLwd at a difference of only six yards ta toe handicap, but even so there are others capable at making a race of it with the ehampion. The weather report to favourable for tomorrow night, although there might be some cloud. The track should again be ta splendid order. WUmCAT. two. <I), Snip °“ (31 it: flying Peddy jS.
