Honour Me Fancied

“The Press” Special Service AUCKLAND. With strength right through the handicap, the $7500 Rotorua Cup today should be a great race. Honour Me and Johnny Cash are the popular selections but they have such good light-weights to contend with as Miss Otaklri, Arragon Lad, Toytime, and Oddfellow. poth Honour Me and Johnny Cash are fast stayers, unlikely to be troubled by the Rotorua track, which is against slow starters. Nunui, one of the fast horses in training, looks the winner of the second leg of the T.A.B. double, the Tourist Handicap. He won under 8-10 at his last start and that was at Avondale where the course is much more testing than at Rotorua. Fine weather continued yesterday and the track was fast.
