Mellay—-Svelte; G. Lee. Ric- ( carton). Kan turns* If out] pacemaking in int«*r-island I event last week.

Weak ened close to home over 2500 m on second day of. meeting. Hard to beat at this; distance if he has made ex- i 1 ported improvement with I. that run. J. Dowling 3 2614 TOTARA MAID (7) 54.51 c 6 ni Kibotlight—Princess Kate; AL Jones, Washdyke). Good fourth this distance ini stronger class in inter-island J event on first day. Obvious | prospect. M. Skelton 4 1201 LOMAX (3) 53.5 (5 g Lomond---Calyxes; S. Shaw, Invercargill). Won decisively over 2500 metres with 3kg less on Wednesday. This field looks slightly stronger, but a place chance at least in present form. D. Adams 5 1 208 COORABIN (5) 51.5 i 4 g Fountainhead—Stornaway; R. Pankhurst, Invercargill). Was hampered by slipped saddle when lie failed on Wednesday. Southern form earlier in season was solid. 6 7082 NIP O' SCOTCH (4) 51 <3 c Eastern Nip—Scottish Queen; IL Simpson. Riccarton).

SECOND LEG OF 1. AB. DOUBLE (T.A.B closes 1.45 p.m.j 13.55 p.m.— CRAVEN PLATE $2200; 1400 m. ■ 1 1067 DONNYBROOK FAIR i (6) 54.0 (6 g by Mellay—Flying Saucer; Mrs V. 11. Harris, Riccarton). Seventh of 10 in sprint on first day when having first start since November. Better suited over more ground but extra 200 metres this time could help him to get some of the money. A. Robinson > 2 1612 FUNNY WAY (9) 53.0 (7 g by Empire Way-—Funny I Story: J. R. Dowling, Wingatui). Has the pace to be in or near the lead all the way . and Is often hard to peg I back. Must command respect. J. Dowling

3 2361 STRAD (8) 53.0 <7 g by Jekyll—First Fiddle; M. R. Jones, Washdyke). Consistent sprinter around the provincial meetings but might find this harder. Could still be sound place chance. M. Skelton 4 1212 GI-A-ROOK (8) 53.0 .5 m by Gigantic—Fairarook; E. A. Winsloe. Gore). Pretty useful sprinter in peak form at present. Latest placing was at Gore on Wednesday. 5 2454 BALTIC BLUE (1) 49.0 (5 g by Copenhagen ll—Lady in Blue; J. C. Tomkinson. Riccarton). Seldom runs a poor race but has been finding winning form elusive. Sound fourth on first day and has no Lovely Honey to cope with this time. G. M«un 6 9735 SHIFNAL KING (5) 49.0 t 7 g by Shifnal—Winning Move; W. J. Kenncally, In

vereargill). Looked a bit burly in condition when paraded on Wednesday so fifth in Grey Way’s sprint I was fair effort. Gould only be improved by that race. 7 5352 WILLIE BEWARE (3) 49.0 *6 g Whistling Willie— Game Girl; W. P. Hogan, Washdyke). Solid effort to run Grey Way to half a length in sprint on Wednesday. Looks one of brighter chances on strength of that i run. 9 0236 CONDOR (4) 48.5 (6 g Golden Plume —Limmat; I). W. Wild Riccarton). Solid run for third in sprint on first day but failed to run on in corresponding event on Wednesday. That might have been only temporary lapse and could not be left out i altogether. S. Ching Scratched: Bun Tuck <2). I
