Rewarded with deserved win last Saturday and should be major contender again despite 81b rise in weight. R. Cleaver. 3 1510 PLAIN (12) 8-2. Well beaten at Wanganui last time but previous winning form still keeps him in the reckoning. B. Dodds. 4 0283 DECIMAL COIN (6) 8-0. Has recorded two bold placings since shifting from the South Island and a winning turn may not* be far away. H. Rauhlhi. 5 8000 MAMMOTH (1) 7-10 Mixing hurdling and flat racing without much success and would have to improve. 6 0548 PUNDANUI (16) 7-8 Slightly disappointing in recent starts but still be worth keeping on side. 7 8009 ANNE FRANK (15) 7-7. Little recent form to recommend her. 8 6540 BRYGAN (13) 7-7. Faded last time after improved efforts, but should still be worth a place ticket. 9 00 CHIAVE D'ORO (8) 7-7. No form in two starts this sea- , son. C. Packer. 10 8001 DARK SONG (2) 7-7. Bolted away with Jumpers’ Flat at Rotorua last time and if he struck a similar heavy track may be tough to beat again. M.

12 6799 MIMI'S BOY (4) 7-7. Not racing well at present, but has the ability to upset. 13 0018 MOUBRAY (3) 7-7. Weakened in hack event last Saturday after previous upset win in same class. May be struggling in better company tomorrow. 14 0854 NEVER GIVE IN (1) 7-7. Pleasing performances in last two outings show that he may be returning to best form. G. Phillips. 15 0005 RAMLEGH (14) 7-7. Made ground at Awapuni on Saturday and may be on the improve. J. Walker. 16 0678 TREASURE CASTLE (5) 7-7.

Last raced beginning of May when showing sound place form and despite big weight may be one of the hardest to beat. R. Marsh. 2 1348 SHARDA (14) 9-4. Stopped badly with big weight at Wanganui last time after previous consistent form but might be troublesome again. 3 7142 CHILL (5) 9-2. Racing exceptionally well on the soft tracks she has encountered recently and with similar conditions should be one of hardest to beat. 4 3217 AEOLIAN (7) 8-18. Not really adept in heavy ground. If track is firmer than last week he would have a royal chance. H. Rauhlhl. 4 22M BILLY JOE (2) 8-5.
