T.A.B. double: races 6 and 8 On-course double: races 2 and 4

(T.A.B. dMM 10.10 0.m.) 11.10 «.m.— WATER LI A HIOHWBIOHT KIM; 11m. ■t lb

KAIKARANGI: Has been racing consistently in the north. Win, three starts back, was in high-weight company at Awapunl. Should be the hardest to beat if he runs up to that form. GOLDEN PROMISE: Never seems to be far away in his races but is a bit out-paced just the same. On latest Rtccarton efforts should be sound place prospect from No. 1 at barrier. REREWA: Looks the best of the light-weights after maiden placlngs at Tauherenikau the week-end before last. (TAB. closes 1035 a.m.) 123 p.m.— POLLARD IMPROVERS' HANDICAP

FANCIED RUNNERS DUMB-BELL: Has not raced since October but showed consistent form during her campaign in the spring. Speedy and might go well fresh. BELPHEGOR: Last-start win against maiden sprinters at Rangiora was impressive first-up effort in another campaign. DIAMOND HUNTER: Beat maiden sprinters narrowly but well at Rangiora earlier in the month. As that was only her second race in another campaign she should still be improving. REGAL RATION: Runaway win against maiden milers at Riccarton last Wednesday week and shaped well for fifth against the hack milers on the same course last Saturday. (T.A.B. closes 11.35 a.m.) 12.45 p.m.— WEST DERBY HANDICAP

B. Bateup FANCIED RUNNERS BEACH: Fair race for sixth when making fresh start at Feilding on Easter Monday. Win, three starts back, was over this distance at Tauherenikau in January. STAR VISTA: Has been placed In five of her nine races this season. This looks a good chance for her to gain a first ROYAL GRACE 1 Battled into fifth on easy track at Riccarton last Wednesday week. Just nosed out of first by Awocato at Rangiora at her previous start Should take beating if she ran up to that form. (T.A.B. closes 11.10 p.m.) 1.10

FANCIED RUNNERS GUATEMALA: Latest form has been useful. Beat staying hacks on first day of recent Feilding meeting and was close third in corresponding event at the same meeting on Easter Monday. HYDEL: Must be rated good chance after decisive win in event for staying hacks at Riverton on Easter Monday. enough race

among staying hacks at C.J.C. autumn meeting to be rated a place chance in this field. JE KO VER: Only fair race for eighth in Autumn Plate at Rlccarton last Saturday but earlier form was fairly sound. (TAB. closes 1230 p.m.) 2 p.m.— CLIFFORD NOVICE STAKES NO. 1

FANCIED RUNNERS COASTER: Encouraging first-up effort to finish fourth over this distance at Riccarton on Easter Monday. Has worked well meantime. LUCKY RANSOME: Improver’s fourth in maiden seven at Tauranga at his last start. Badly drawn but might still be one of the major contenders. PLANET JUNIOR: Finished fourth over this distance at Tauherenikau last Saturday week and finished well for sixth among maiden milers on second day of Wairarapa meeting. Looks better placed here than in Wateriea Highweight. 2.40 p.m.— (T.A.B. double closes 1.10 pun.) T.A.B. closes 1.30 pun.) MARLBOROUGH CUP 02100; lim. 1 4100 SOME LIGHT (14) 0-6

(7h Freelight—Some Day; E. Winsloe, Gore). Beat weaker field at Oamaru three starts back. Failed in Riverton Cup last time out. D. Tucker. 2 2342 SILVER FOUNTAIN (2) 8-5 (6m Fountainhead—Silver Wood; J. Fowler, Blenheim). Ran Time And Tide close over this distance, after fourth in George Adams Handicap (11m) at Riccarton last week. Highly consistent and due for win. A. Eastwood. 3 3013 RED CARPET (15) 8-3 (5g Magic Carpet—Otaio Rambler; G. Hampton, Washdyke). Won against milers on soft track on second day of Riverton meeting and followed with third at middle distance on final day. 4 9016 HAROLD BANK (5) 8-2 (5g Dogger Bank—Weewyn; L. Barr, Riccarton). Recaptured form with win on rainaffected track over a mile on second day of Canterbury Jockey Club’s autumn meeting. Outpaced over seven furlongs last Saturday, but should go well here. G. Mein. 5 2016 GOLD MINT (1) 7-13 (7g Alcimedes—Chubin; E. Temperton, Awapuni). Has done his latest racing in high-weights and won easily over Ilf at Awapuni, March 20. Good galloper and a strong prospect at the weights. D. Foley. 6 4356 JAY RIBBON (13) 7-11 (6g Fountainhead—Lady Yelverton; H. Powell and J. Wilson, Wingatui). Fair race for fifth In Riverton Cup but something better was expected of him at that meeting after promising third at Beaumont. 7 3047 SANDON (12) 7-11 (6g Golden Abbey—Splice; A. Robinson, Foxton). Easter form at Wairarapa was not up to much but, at best, is a competent front runner with a solid record in provincial handicaps. Recent placings include thirds in Taranaki Cup and in middle distance handicap at Awapuni. H. Rauhlhl. 8 5546 ISEL PLACE (10) 7-10 (5g Fountainhead—Rawlatee; C. Pfefferie. Nelson). Was freshened after campaign at Riccarton in February and might need racing. 9 0010 SCHOLLANDER (8) 7-10

(4g Syntax—Gold Secret; D. Srubb, Fell ding). Beat strong eld of hacks over Ijm at Wanganui in February. Newcomer to open company. 10 5230 WESTERN GALE (4) 7*lo (8 g Great Western—De Galard; A. Beckett, Wyndham). Good second to Libanson (Jay Ribbon third) at Beaumont Third behind Red Carpet in flrst of two starts at Riverton. 11 0340 FLOWER GIRL (7) 7*o (6m Jekyll—My Fair Lady; D. This toll, Riccarton). Sixth in field of 12 in Great Autumn Hep, her only race at Riccarton last week. Lacks brilliance, but runs her races out strongly. R. McCann. 12 8000 FRED (0) 7-0 (6g Red Jester—Fritha; B. Robinson, Foxton). Hard to fancy on his latest North Island form. 13 1318 OFFICERS' MESS (16) 7-0 (4g Mystery—Colonel’s Lady; R. Taggart, Riccarton). Newcomer to this class. Latest win was in high- : weight at Rangiora. D. Reed. 14 0070 RIBO D'ORO (11) 7-0 (4g Ribotllght—Foglia D'Oro; F. Pratt, Levin). Form has been very ordinary in busy programme since his latest win, against hacks, in January. B. Bateup. 15 4007 SCREENED (0) 7-0 (4m Dogger Bank—Awatere; B. Mills, Blenheim). Weak efforts in two starts at Riccarton last week. D. Sander16 0806 WINBURN (3) 7-0 (5g Avocat General—Maritea; J. Brown, Wingatui). Last start sixth was in weaker field in high-weight at Riccarton last week. G. Heaton. 3.20 (TAB. closes 2.10 p.m.) PICTON HACK HANDICAP

J ODE MA: Would me hard to beat if she reproduced the form which earned her a decisive victory at Riccarton last Monday week. WAIHOU LASS: Sound effort for fourth in hack seven at Feilding last Saturday week. Another sound placing close up on her record was a third at Trentham last month. DIAMOND HUNTER: Cleared maiden class at Rangiora early in month when having her second start for the season. Might still be improving. LE CHAPEAU: Poor form lately but in lot stronger class. Has previously raced well on this track. (T.A.B. closes 23® p.m.) 4 p.m.— STEWARDS' HANDICAP $1350; 7f. 1 4413 MY BOA («) 8-7 (7 m Bellborough—Golden Boa; R. Cochrane, Gore). Easy winner over this distance at Riverton last Saturday week, then a close second to Crunch over 6f. two days 2 MM* GRAY KNIGHT (17) M (8 g Byland—Revon; G. Rogerson, Cambridge). Doubtful if he is up to this from bad barrier position. D. Foley. 3 2592 FUNNY WAY (1> 7-12 (4 Empire Way—Funny Story; L. Barr, Riccarton). Relegated to second behind Igloo after leading throughout In W-ltham Handicap at Riccarton last Saturday. Has. drawn well, and should be hard to 4 4574*'PAKISTAN PRINCE (13) 7-12 (3 c Pakistan H—Chatterley; E. Temperton, Awapuni). Has the speed to test best of his rivals,

but a wide barrier position will test him unless the field thins. H. RevhlM. 5 $784 GAY DOCTOR (IS) 7-11 gg Jekyll—Lucky Gay; J. aly, Washdyke). Getting closer to winning form with each race recently. Laststart fourth in Waltham Handicap at Riccarton last week. Wide barrier position will be a handicap. . Sanderson. 6 5546 I SIL PL AC! JU) 7-10 (5 g Fountainhead—Fawlatee; C. Pfefferle, Nelson). First start for several weeks and might need racing. 7 7443 MARTHA BELL (3) 7-9 (5 m Comte de Grasse — Queen of Sheba; J. Lalor, Ashburton). Has earned a win with some solid placed runs recently. Followed fourth in Great Easter with third behind Igloo. Funny Way in Waltham Handicap. G. Mein. 8 6089 EMANUELA (11) 7-8 (5 m Byland—Gold Class; F. Pratt, Levin). Latest form not inspiring. B. Bateup. 9 8399 GRIPPLE (10) 7-8 (5 g Wandering Willie — Legal Tender; B. Jones, Washdyke). Was away from racing for several weeks before his unplaced run against sprinters at Riccarton last Saturday. Should be one of improvers in field. 10 8077 AL AZHAR (7) 7-7 (3 c Kurdistan—Lucky Princess; M. Bryant, Amberley). Has had fairly strenuous season and probably past the improving stage. 11 5754 AMALGAMATION (14) 7-7 (7 g Kurdistan—Amalgamate; E. Winsloe, Gore). Last run was as hurdler. Others preferred here. 12 3116 AUTO'S PRIDE (2) 7-7 (5 h Jekyll—Automat; W. Turner, Washdyke). First start since the spring. Speedy and has drawn well. 13 5070 FILAMENT (4) 7-7 (4 g Globe of Light—Lanfort, E. Temperton, Awapuni). Nothing to commend him on recent form. . 14 6328 FLYING MELDA (?) 7-7 (6 m Messmate—Flying Reida. M. Butler, Temuka). Latest failure at Riverton (My Boa first). Runner-up to Haste Ye Back at Beaumont the start before. D. Reed. 15 7760 KIOWA (8) 7-7 (7 g Pictavia—Melinda Jane; V. Clutterbuck. Riccarton). Fresh start. No appeal. 16 9 SMILEY (12) 7-7 (6 g Comte de Grasse —Royal Vision; J. Brown, Wingatui). First start since the spring. G. Heaton. 17 0000 SUPER BOY (5) 7-7 (5 g Ruddington—Super Blue: H. Powell and J. Wilson. Wingatui). Showed speed but did not run his sprint races out strongly at Riverton at Easter.

FANCIED RUNNERS SILVER HEAD: Although out of form lately has shown promise at times. Inclined to get back a bit early but might go well on his home track. CAMPFRILL: Has been racing with marked consistency lately. Should be one of the most popular fancies. ZE BEE NA: Narrowly beaten by Diamond Hunter at Rangiora and went fair race for sixth in maiden at Riccarton on Easter Monday.
