One of the obvious chances after a good fifth in the New Zealand Cup and fourth in the Metropolitan at Rlccarton last month Appears to have freshened nicely O. Mein. 2 3141 SMART MILLAY (1) 5-4 <4 m Mellay—Smartly; B. Anderton, Wlngatul). Won Jockey Club Handicap (Im.) on this course last month, and easily beat milers at Beaumont last Saturday, lias

winning form at a mile and a quarter. A. Robinson. 3 4018 FOREIGN AID (12) 8-1 (6 g Afghanistan—Credit; D. ThistolJ, Riccarton).. Won Riccarton Handicap <9f.) brilliantly in first of two starts at New Zealand Cup meeting. Not so good at Um. four days later, but should come back as good as ever after a freshener. M. Thornley. 4 2146 FOXY (17) 8-0 (4-5 m Afghanistan—Corona Fox; A. N. Didham, Wingatui). Rates something better than a fair chance on her peak runs. Won easily at Rangiora on Labour Day, then a creditable fourth (Mediate first) in Cup and Derby Trial al Banks Peninsula. Latest run was in C.J.C. Metropolitan. J. Dowling. 5 41 SHIPMASTER (5) 7-13 (8 g Messmate —Hush Money: D. ThistolJ, Riccarton). Came back after a spell for a win and fourth over Um at Greymouth. Respected on that form, and might find further improvement. D. Sanderson. 6 9737 DONNYBROOK FAIR (16) 7-12 (5 g Mellay—Flying Saucer; Mrs E. V. Harris, Riccarton). Third was best he could manage in two starts at Greymouth, but likely to do better on bigger course this time. R. McCann. 7 0000 SILVER HEAD (2) 7-12 (6 g Fountainhead—Silver Wood; J. Fowler, Blenheim). Form has slumped badly since his good run fresh up at Rangiora on Labour Day. 8 0028 ALI CAT (4) 7-11 (5 m Persian Garden ll—Great Filou; J. Aspinall, Washdyke). Fair second this distance on second day of N.Z. Cup meeting, then failed at lim. in Metropolitan Handicap. 9 0808 RED CHIPS (15) 7-11 (9 g Stunning—Reka Pai; C. McDonald, Riccarton). . Has nothing to commend him on form, but has been freer in his action these last few days, and might surprise. G.

Lee. 10 2001 BUN TUCK (13) 7-10 (5 g Quetzal-Vital; A. Williams, Riccarton). Surprise winner over 7f. on final day of N.Z. Cup meeting. Won in the style of a horse which should manage a bit of ground. P. Smith. 11 0453 DHOW (14) 7-8 (3 f Final Orders—Shoal; J. Tutton, Riccarton). Respected from her place in the handicap on her spring classic form. Won N.Z. Guineas in October. and raced consistently at N.Z. Cup meeting for third in Oaks, fourth in Derby, and fifth in Topsy’s Canterbury Gold Cup. M. Skelton. 12 2224 PHAR WYN (2) 7-8 (5 g Fountainhead — Windvale Girl; C. Stewart, Washdyke). Consistent place-getter as sprinter on recent West Coast circuit. This looks harder G. Heaton. 13 0427 THE PINES (11) 7-8 (6 g Celtic Park—Pungarerie; R. Pankhurst, Invercargill). Placed in first of two starts in weaker company at Southland spring meeting. 14 0378 ANNENIC (10) 7-7 (4 m Gate Keeper—Rap; A. B. Didham, Wingatui). Usually shows something worth while on her Riccarton campaigns. Placed this distance at N.Z. Cup meeting. P. Gostin. 15 5009 BEV LEIGH (3) 7-7 (5 m Eastern Nip—Lorna Leigh; B. Finlayson, Riccarton). Latest form, at. Greymouth, was weak. A. Eastwood. 14 4111 CRUSADE (8) 7-7 (4 g Hawa—Civil Lady; J. Wilson, Wingatui). Newcomer to open company with impressive background of middle distance form. Two of his last three wins were at N.Z. Cup meeting. N. Eastwood. 17 4936 KEL SABAEAN (18) 7-7 5 h Jekyll—Lady Sabaean; B. Jones Washdyke). Placed as a miler at Hokitika two starts back. Will find this harder. D. Holden. 18 1315 REBEL LAD (9) 7-7 (4 g My Pal—Blarney Stone; C. McDonald, Riccarton). Newcomer to open company with sound background over a bit of ground. Last-start fifth was over IJm. in race won by Crusade. I. Grant. 19 0005 ROSE GATE (7) 7-7 (5 m

Gate Keeper—Subtrist; G Thomson, Mosgiel). Nothing to commend her on latest form. M. Craig. 20 2855 SEASIDE STORY (19) 7-7 (4 m My Pal —Paua; R. Taggart. Riccarton). Not the least of the light-weight chances. Fair fifth this distance at Greymouth on Nov. 25. D. Reed. 2.45 p.m.— (T.A.B. closes 1.35 p.m.) L. DERRETT HACK HANDICAP $1100; 9f. st lb

RACE 8

4.10 p.m.— (T.A.B. closes 3 p.m.) GORDONS HANDICAP $1800; 7f. 1 8112 GOLDEN SAM (11) 9-1 (5 h Afghanistan—Dilane; A. N. Dldham). Has more brilliance than the usual stayer. Was freshened after his New Zealand Cup second and should come up with a good run here. One of his placings earlier in the season was a close second over 6f at Ashburton. J. Dowling. 42 1220 REGAL RATION (7) 8-7 (5 g Bourbon Prince—Ration Time; D. Thistoll, Riccarton). Raced consistently over middle distances on North Island spring circuit until he was jarred on hard track at Masterton. Might come back well fresh. P. Thistoll. 3 2017 BLANK CHEQUE (9) 8-0 (5 g Ribotlight—Present Again; J. Wilson, Wingatui). Easy win again milers at Southland two starts back might be better guide than last-start failure on small course at Beaumont. G. Heaton. 4 1490 GRIPPLE (8) 7-12 (7 g Wandering Willie — Legal

, Tender; B. Jones, Washdyke). Disappointing in his I two starts at N.Z. Cup meetI ing. Showed liking for Rlccarton earlier. M. Thornley. 5 606 HOMBRE (10) 7-12 (7 g Comte de Grasse—Cymbalo; D. Wild, Riccarton). Failed this distance in only start at N.Z. Cup meeting. Getting a bit of age on him and has not been racing consistently. P. Smith. 4 4233 HIS BESTONE (13) 7-12 (3 c Monitor—Suzy Burford; P. Jones, Riccarton). Back to sprinting after sound placed runs at middle distances in strong company. Placings include thirds in N.Z. Derby and Canterbury Gold Cup. D. Reed. 7 1 606 BALTIC BLUE (2) 710 (4 g Copenhagen—Lady In Blue; J. Tomkinson, Riccarton). Rates a chance on his latest run for sixth in Members’ Handicap (7f) at N.Z. Cup meeting. G. Mein. 8 5432 TOTARA BOY (4) 7-9 (6 g Ribotlight—Princess Kate; W. Kennedy, Ikamatua). Placed behind two competent sprinters, Palley and Lloyd, at Greymouth. Not the least of chances here. M. Skelton. 9 0378 SURGE AGAIN (5) 7-8 (3 g Resurgent — Never Again; D. Thistoll, Riccarton). Had luck of the running against him in his most recent race at N.Z. Cup meeting. Respected. R. McCann. 10 WATT lE'S WISH (1) 7-8 (7 h Eastern Nip—Swanky; B. Anderton, Wingatul). Making fresh start. Others preferred. G. Lee. 12 1310 JURY (15) 7-7 (3 g Test Case—Fair Symbol; J. Tomkinson, Riccarton). Newcomer to open company. Unlucky not to wm twice against hacks at N.Z. Cup meeting. Respected. A. Eastwood. 13 0848 ROYAL MOUNT (6) 7-7 (7 h Gold Sovereign—Manaveen; M. Butler, Temuka). Speedy, but does not run his races out solidly. L. Mol14 9080 SANDY (12) 7-7 (8 g Afghanistan — Subtrist; G. Thomson, Mosgiel). Veteran showing only glimpses of his early ability. M. Craig. 15 3 WARLIGHT (3) 7-7 (5 g Freelight — Warfare; R. Pankhurst, Invercargill).
