Takanini) Latest failure was a.s sprinter. Unlucky third the start before in Auckland Mitchelson Cup Him). Hard to beat here if he repeats that run. J. Riordan. 2 1155 RIBALDO (12) 8-9 (6 g Ribotlight—Fleur; G. Lee, Riccarton). Last two runs have been on small tracks, which do not show him to best advantage, the latest at Rangiora last Monday. Has plenty of stamina and will be able to employ it to best advantage on this course. G. Mein. 3 8521 FOXY (4) 8-2 (5 m Af-ghanistan-Corona Fox; A. N. Didham, Wingatui). Outclassed rivals in mile race for females at Rangiora. Just beaten this distance at Geraldine at previous start. In form to go close here. J. Dowling. 4 9371 MtiLDIE (14) 8-0 <7 g Bellborough — Reverted; R. Pankhurst, Invercargill). Made belated return to winning form over this distance at Gore on Monday. Tendency to drift early has often cost him chance in big fields. 5 1212 TOTARA MAID (10) 8-0 (5 m Ribotlight—Princess Kate; M. Jones, Washdyke). Found Golden Sam too good at this distance at Rangiora but her second held a good deal of merit. Respected in present form. M. Skelton. 4 4 SILVER HEAD (2) 7-11 (6 g Fountainhead—-Silver Wood; J. Fowler, Blenheim). Resumed promisingly with fourth Over this distance at Rangiora. Should find some improvement with that run. M. Thornley. 7 8524 DONNYBROOK FAIR (11) 7-10 (5 g Mellay—Flying Saucer; Mrs V. Harris, Ricearton). Sixth of 16 at Rangiora, improving several positions late in race. Track should suit. P. Smith. 8 2840 ELVIN SPARK (13) 7-6 (7 g Campo—Bikini; G. Lee, Riccarton). Would have to improve out of sight on his Rangiora run. Unlucky fourth at Geraldine the time before R. McCann. 9 4090 AL AZHAR (5) 7-5 (5 h Kurdistan—Lucky Princess; M. Bryant, Amberley). Nothing to commend him on recent form. M. McCann. 10 0280 BRIGHT GIRL (3) 7-5 (6 m Mellay—llluminate; M. Savill, Rangiora). Ashburton Cup second to Ribaldo three starts back was only show of form this time up. A. E astwood 11 906 BUZZ' (9) 8-5 (5 g Mellay —Code Flag; M. Jones, Washdyke). Latest effort over this distance at Geraldine fair run, but would have to find more improvement. D. Sanderson. 12 8124 HIS BESTONE (15) 7-5 (3 c Monitor—Suzy Burford; P. Jones, Riccarton) Looked likely middle-distance material on his fast-finishing fourth in Wellington Guineas. Strong light-weight chance on that run. L. Molloy. 13 5303 MENELEUS (7) 7-5 (5 g Mellay—Cadtnean; L. Pratt, Orari). Third, four lengths from Golden Sam and two lengths from Totara Maid, at Rangiora. Rates something of a chance on that run. L. Didham. 14 00 ROSE GATE (6) 7-5 (5 m Gate Keeper—Subtrist; G. Thomson, Wingatui) Form hardly looks strong enough. M. Craig. 15 000 WINBURN (8) 7-5 (7 g Avocat General—Maritea; J. Brown. Wingatui). Does not look up to this class

nothing this time up. J. Dowling. 2 3071 CIRCUS GIRL (9) 86 (6 m Lionhcarted—Very Nice;' J. Lalor, Ashburton). Won brilliantly this distance at Rangiora last Monday. One of the top chances. M. Skelton. 3 1860 HOMBRE (2) 85 (7 g Comte de Grasse—Cymbalo; D. Wild, Riccarton). Failed at middle distance at Rangiora. Form at best over 7f. has been good. M. Thornley. 4 1511 ZARNIA (7) 8-2 (4 m Afghanistan—Lola; L. Pratt, Orari). Won first time out in open class at Geraldine. One of stronger chances. L. Didham. 5 08 BELPHEGOR (3) 7-13 (6 g Bellborough — Keppoch; J. Waterworth, Riccarton). Failed in longer races at Grand National meeting. Dashing galloper and might not be out of it at If. R. McCann. 6 6753 BLANK CHEQUE (10) 7-12 (5 g Ribotlight—Present Again; J. Wilson, Wingatui). Lacks brilliance, but useful and consistent when he comes to form. Latest placing was behind Redlo over 9f. at Gore. G. Heaton. 7 2 BUN TUCK (1) 7-12 (5 g Quetzal—Vital; A. Williams, Riccarton). Resumed promisingly with second to Circus Girl over this distance at Rangiora. P. Smith.

8 8700 AGOLIAN (14) 7-11 (8 g Ruddington—Green Rose; J. R. Shaw, Riccarton). Right out of form. 9 8380 GEE TEE (4) 7-11 (8 g Fountainhead—Gambol; F. Hobson. Riccarton). Has not been running out his latest races at ali strongly. 10 9 JAPITA (12) 7-11 (7 m Dogger Bank—Panoramic; D. Tucker, Riccarton). Showed nothing when resuming at Rangiora. Others preferred. D. Sanderson. 11 0504 KURD MAHAL (5) 7-11 (6 g Kurdistan—Athenree One; D. Thomson, Rangiora). Rates something of a chance on his fourth at Rangiora but will be opposed again by Circus Girl (first) and Bun Tuck (second). 12 8864 RIBOLITA (13) 7-11 (4 m Ribotlight—Cleopatra; G. Lee, Riccarton). Latest placing was in weaker field at Rangiora. G. Mein. 13 0 ROYAL MOUNT (6) 7-11 (7 h Gold Sovereign—Manaveen; A. N. Didham, VVingatui). Failed fresh up at Rangiora, weakening to eleventh after contending for lead to 3f. 14 9 SANDY (8) 7-11 (8 g Afghanistan — Subtrist; G. Thomson, Wingatui). Early form was good but a win at this stage of his career would be surprising.
