(T.A.B. double closes 11.15 p.m.) (T.A.B. closes 11.45 p.m.) 1.55 p.m.— WHANG ARE I HANDICAP ♦3000; lim. 1 5311 JAN'S BEAU (8) 8-11. Consistent. Raced well at Wellington Cup meeting for a third and second. Meantime second again behind Breathalyser at Rotorua last month. R. Taylor. 1 7155 KING AMBER (1) 8-4. Hit peak form with win in International Cup on February 1. Since has been unplaced at Te Rapa and Pukekohe. Good stayer but may lack the early speed to win on this small course. A Tweedie. 3 OOM SANDPIPER (10) 8-3. Second two starts back, middle-distance, Gisborne, then well back last Saturday, Ilf, Paeroa. Seems to prefer left-handed tracks and has raced well at Whangarei already. Certain to improve on last start. P. Kempton. 4 1381 RUTH'S EDITION (1) 8-0. Won open mile, Ellerslie, January 30, then third, 6f, Rotorua. Eighth in Lady Norrie Stakes and won last start, restricted mile. Pukekohe, March 6. First test as a distance runner will be interesting. Game and should run it out pretty well. b. Andrews. 5 2000 GLEN lON (11) 7-9. Recent form hardly suggests a chance. Near the rear all the way last two starts, at Pukekohe and Paeroa. Second placing was in International Cup, February 1, when she finished solidly. 6 0079 STYLE MAN (12) 7-9. Racing miles below best form. Former top stayer but well back last start, at Trentham, and not really dangerous time before at Pukekohe. Hard to fancy. J. Riordan. 7 7790 BEACHLANDS (3) 7-8. Disappointing latest starts in open company after looking promising through hacks and intermediate class. Never in it last time over Ilf at Paeroa last Saturday and well beaten previous time at Pukekohe. Wouldd need to improve. 8 0708 BOSTOCK (5) 7-8. Last showed worthwhile form when third at New Plymouth, December 26. Has failed to show up in two starts at New Plymouth after a spell. Races well usually at Whangarei 10 0301 THUNDER GOLD (7) 7-8. Surprise and decisive winner last start, in intermediate mile at Pukekohe on March 6. Earlier third was at

Ellerslie, January 2, behind Ansin • and DJable Rouge, when beaten narrowly over lOf. Has plenty of ability and looks the best light* weight. M. Latham. 11 0060 BIG TIME (14) 7-7. Re* tains plenty of speed but does not often run on too generously. Faded latest attempts in January at Avondale and Thames over middle-distances Likely to be up with lead for good part of journey but stamina suspect. G. Willetts. 12 60W GAY COLLEEN (4) 7-7. Well beaten, 6f, Paeroa last Saturday when resuming after spell. Hardly likely to improve in time for' a win here. Form this season in any case poor. G. Chitty. 13 700 MR SOLO (4) 7-7. Unplaced in 13 starts this season and could hardly be considered on that form background. However, looks well enough and might go a good deal better than his form might suggest. N. Riordan. 14 0700 SUREVE (13) 7-7. Has shown occasional form of some worth on soft tracks but well beaten in three starts so far this season after a fair spell. Impossible to fancy. 15 600 TE MOA (15) 7-7. Won high-weight here then inter-

mediate lOf. at Avondole last spring. However, form since then very moderate. Always well back latest attempts. D. Peake. Scratched: Dewi Sant (9). US p,.m.—

SETTLERS' MAIDEN NO. a, $650; Of.—Miss Beat Em (17) 8-9; Ramses (10) 8-5; Gold Fashion (Ilk Rescene (8), Speriamo (12), Stop Watch (6) 8-4; Aratan (2), Flashing Gold (19), Jus (15), Microwave (9), Pia Shan (3), Scarborough (5), Skimming Low (14), Wallaceville (13) 8-3.

(TAO. closes 2.10 sjs.l MACKAY MEMORIAL *1300; 6f. 1 3058 LtCKETYSPLItT (5) 7-13. Did not run on last Saturday, 6f Paeroa after trailing, leader, but almost certain to

have improved with race. Re- i cent third was behind Robin ' Royal and Hindi, 6f. Avon- 1 dale, Jan. 16. Sura to be hard 1 to beat D. Wyatt. 1 I 3166 MOLTEN'6 PRIDE (9) 1 7-13. Won 7f three starts back, Matamata, but since. . well beaten over 7f. at To < Rapa and at last start, a restricted mile, Pukekohe, when she faded after leading. Looks well and should go better here. B. Andrews. 3 0290 BAHROONA (6) 7-1. Very fast American importation which has failed to show the necessary stamina to reach even moderate form. Sure to be prominent but stamina too doubtful. 5 0045 KASTRUP (11) 7-11. Disappointing last start. 6f. Paeroa March 13 when he spoilt chance by slow start. Won 6f. Ellerslie last spring but form since moderate. Well beaten here, middle distances October. W. Day. * M» JUST FOR KICKS (10) 7.10. Most consistent in six starts last month or so on East Coast circuit and Tara- ' naki. Last attempt was in open ?f, Rawer*. This is harder. A prospect nevertheless. 7 0090 MADIERA (4) 7-10. Capable sprinter yet to regain form after a fair spell. Faded last start, 6f., Paeroa, Saturday, when he needed run. Improved since and might go much better this time. Has won at Whangarei. D. Peake. 6 7095 TUAM (2) 7-9. Fine sprinter once but getting on in years and form lately not up to his best. Battled on to midfield last start, 6f., Rotorua, Feb. 13. Unplaced in seven attempts since return to racing early December. G. 9 8340 GRANTS SPECIAL (1) 7-8. Speedy but has not won in 14 attempts since spring. Best recent effort distant third. 7f. New Plymouth, March 8. This is no earier. B. Compton. 10 7570 COLANE (8) 7-7. Form lately does not suggest a chance. Last start faded badly from pacemaking, restricted mile, Pukekohe, March 6. II 2087 DASHING DEE (3) 7-7. Has yet to win this season but has shown plenty bf ability on occasions. Finished second behind Tama over a mile at Tauranga last October. This will be first start after a spell. K. Reggett. Scratched: Impartial (7), Pontypool (12). 41 p«m.— WAIPU HANDICAP, 3850; B|f. —Jack Johnson (11) 8-0; Perpetual (4) 8-7; Super Plume (9) 8-5; Baroner (12), Captain General
