ADELAIDE, February 12.

The first meeting of the champions Cardigan Bay and Idle Raider is expected to attract at least 30,000 spectators to Wayville tomorrow, when the second series of qualifying heats of the 1963 Inter - Dominion Championship will be decided. The two will meet in the fourth heat, which in most quarters is considered to be a preview of the £ 13,000 Grand Final on February 23. Bookmakers have Idle Raider favourite in tomorrow’s race, but he is only a fraction of a point shorter than Cardigan Bay. P. Ryan, the trainer-reins-man of Idle Rasder, has had only nine drives at metropolitan meetings for as many wins. Ail have been with Idle Raider—four at Harold Park, three at the Melbourne Showgrounds, and two at Wayville. He is confident that Idle Raider can accomplish any task he sets him. He may succeed tomorrow night, but it could be a different matter in the big race on Saturday week. In any case, both horses should add to their points tally. Now that connexions of both horses have declined invitations to participate in this year’s International

Senes at Yonkers in May. they look certain to meet in the £5OOO Lord Mayor’s Cup, to be run at Harold Park at Faster and to continue their battle for the title of Australia’s best light-harness horse

The Sydney pacer, Grogan, which was forced to miss his heat on Saturday night because of colic, is the hottest favourite to the four beats tomorrow night He is quoted at even money in the third of the four heats to be decided, and from No. 1 barrier position he should earn the possible seven points by winning and gaining fastest time However, he will not have matters all his own way.

Waiitaki Hanover, which worked brilliantly in shortened hoppies at Wayville yesterday, and the smart Perth pacer. Bin Oro, will provide really tough opposition. The Sydney mare, Mary Mavis, is at short odds in tihe first heat, with the local pacer, Sheffield Globe, rated her main threat. The veteran Victorian horse, Columbus, could cause a surprise in this race. In the second division. Miller dominates discussions He is favourite at 6 to 4 with the South Australian pacer, Ayr’s Idol, second in favour at 6 to 1, and the Sydney mare, Cele, at sevens.
