field, and does not "read well” at the weights compared with Trelay, but has the record of an improving l young horse and capable of a bold first effort at two miles. B. Shaw. 8 1546 FORT HAGEN (14) 85 <5 g Copenhagen ll—Blue Fort; M. Smith, New Plymouth). Won Waikato Cup dim) with 8-1 in November. Has shown nothing quite as good in the meantime, but latest form does not suggest any marked lapse. R. Marsh. 9 8132 PURDIE (2) 85 (5 g Oncidium —Royal Tourist; E. Temperton. Awapuni). Beat several Wellington Cup rivals in Manawatu Cup (Ilf) last month (No Show 2, A icon 3, Fort Hagen 4, Glengowan 5). Soundly beaten by Arcon at Pahiatua meeting. H. Rau-

staying ability. Respected. G. Willetts. 12 0607 JOHNNY CASH (8) 7-13 (8 g Lord Sasanof—Otahuhu; 1. Signal. Walton). Failed to run on after having every chance in Auckland Cup. Will find this harder. G. Chitty. 14 2573 BEN ADHEM (3) 7-12 <4 g Gate Keeper—lnnuendo; E. Ropiha, Woodville).

Pahiatua. J. Walker. 15 6183 HI VITA (12) 7-12 (7 g Syntax—Vita Glow: T. Barnsley, Woodville). Won Wairarapa Cup (Ilf) on December 30 when carrying 31b less than his weight in this field. Others preferred. G. Mc-

Cup, that following second to Ribaldo at lAm. D. Peake. 20 0400 SIMON DE MONTFORT (21) 7-10 (7 g Better Honey— De Montfort).

Would have to improve out of sight on latest run. at Marton. D. Reed. 22a 8023 ARRAGON'S STAR (28) 7-5 (4 g Arragon—Even Break; B. Preston, Otaki). Latest placings have been at Stratford and Marton.

Almost brought off a major surprise in middle distance race at Thames, running winner to half head. Form earlier was

Won good double at Manawatu Cup meeting, first at 7f. then at a mile. One of his strong finishes should make him one of the top contenders here. J. Riordan. 3 9376 PATRIDA (11) 8-7 (8g Pharamond—Foreever; J. Carter, Woodville).

McLelsh. 10 6101 MR DAN (12) 7-11 (3 c Pakistan ll—Te Ngutu; P Moseley. Hawera). Carried same weight to close win 61 at Marton. This harder. R. Skelton. 11 1615 SHIFON (10) 7-10 (5 m
