2.45 p.m.— SPRING HANDICAP $600; 2290 m. 1 13 SYNDROME (10) 54.5. Fine galloper who followed fii-st-up sprint win with solid tliird following week. Usually runs on well. Top prospect. B. Andrews 2 65$ KUTATI (5) 51. Outpaced when returning to racing. Almost certainly improved with the race and holds good form tills distance. Soft track would suit. R. Cleaver 3 $925 ROSIE'S GIRL (9) 51. Sound staying marc back in top form. Disappointing when fifth, Tauranga, but capable of much better. W. Robinson 4 $032 ANGEL'S GOLD (3) 49.5 Looks well and racing well. Has the pace to keep up and should be prominent. K. ReggeH 5 1322 DELLA RAY (15) 453. Consistent lately but on much softer footing than could be expected now. Usually runs on strongly. G. Edge 6 7750 HARRISANO (I) 4s. Ono of tlie best at two and three years. Form lately Uiougli not up to Ills best. R. Skelton 7 000 SKITS (2) 4s. Showed fair form through last summer. Not dangerous In three starts this season, after a spell. J. Riordan $ 7212 HEIDSIECK (7) 47.5. Model of consistency and has continued his excellent form. Tills is hard. Chance. B. Compton 9 3537 LORD LU (13) 473. Best form lately lias been over fences and on softer tracks than are llkclv from now. 10 4 SAN MICHILLI (12) 473. Has shown some signs of making up intn a stayer. Will probably need another one or two but worth watching D. Southworth 11 930 BAIIONIC (6) 47. Showed ■omctliing of her best again

I > when third two starts back, i Hard to fancy much on faster footing in this com- > pany. ■ 11 1440 CRYSTANNI (II) 47. 1 Has shown ability on occa--1 slons but form overall patchy. Judged by latest at • tempts has little chance to 1 pay a dividend In this one ; 14 0300 HASTY COUNT (I) 47. Promising for a time early, but too long out of form I to be considered In such i company as this. M. Sullivan 14 7117 KANDY KING (17) 47 i Failed two start* back. I Looks out of his depth. , 17 030 SLIPS (14) 47. Once very

fair galloper on the flat. I This looks much harder 18 5877 SWAGMAN (11) 47. Looked a chance to improve on recent moderate efforts when favoured by firmer going at Te Rapa, but again failed to show up. Little chance on tbit form. Balloted out in order of reentry: 12 79 BONNIE AVON (4) 47. Not prominent in two starts tills season, after a spell. 15 0707 JACKEE (14) 47.

Handsome welglit-for-ago winner last start over 1600 m at Trentham. Up In weights but still a prospect. K. Cullen 2 3110 SABRE PRINCE (0) 573. Ended impressive run of form at last start when badly beaten at Tauranga. Best displays have been on soft tracks. Speedy though and sure to be prominent. R. Skelton , 3 DEE LIGHT (13) 53.5. Once brilliant sprinter but has had little racing last year or two. Would have to bo taken on i trust. R. Taylor 4 0 TASHI (5) 52.5. Showed nothing of his best In a couple of starts late in . winter. Hard to fancy. 8. Compton , 5 0 SHY WAYS (1$) 52. Capable middle-distance runner which returned to racing after fair spell In sprint at Te Rapa last Tuesday. ' Needed that one and will 1 probably need another. 6 KASHMIR BELLS (7) sl3. ' Reached excellent form about this time last year. I Well again after a spell and worth attention. f 1 D Peake

7 KING OWEN (14) 51.5. Has not raced in New Zealand for more than 12 months. Would probably need this. 8 5340 TELL (19) 51. Looked on way back to winning form until well beaten in sprint at Te Rapa last Tuesday. Earlier form sound. 9 342 TONIC TIME (22) 51. Consistent sprinter which resumed racing after a spell at Tauranga in August and has been placed in two of three starts. 10 09 MR SOVEREIGN (4) 50.5. TBo badly beaten in two starts tills season to merit much consideration. 11 1135 PERHAPS (3) 50.5. Will be making a fresh start after being off the scene since May. Worth attention but likely to need this race. D. Southworth. 12 4402 JOCASTA (2) 49.5. Yet to win this season but looked more like her best when close second to Athello at Paeroa last Saturday. One to beat from this draw. J. Riordan 13 TUDOR LIGHT (4) 49.5. This will be first race since late March but looks sure to go well from favourable barrier position. G. Hughos 14 300 ORANMORE (20) 48.5. Fine two-year-old last term but has yet to show the same form this season. 15 2 SILVER IMAGE (1) 48. Came back to racing with close second to Dive Bomber at Tc Rapa on September 13. Seems to have trained on. Top prospect. B. Andrews 14 3 ALBACORE (10) 47.5. Unlucky when third at first start after a spell at Avondale on September 6. Good galloper but might find this harder. C. Briarivy 17 9039 HI SURGE (21) 47.5. A bit unlucky two starts back when a close third at Avon dale on August 30 but nnt as good the following week. Hardly likely from wide draw, 20 91 GOOD GIFT (IS) 47. Young horse of high promise. Impressive intermediate winner

at last start at Tauranga. Balloted out In order of reentry:—

19 4212 BARTLESVILLE (17) 47. One of the most promising two-year-olds last season, whose return to racing will be interesting. Worth attention although has hard task from wide draw.

K. Reggett 18 0880 ANTEMIS (14) 47. Finished in rear at Te Rapa last Tuesday. Right out of form. 21 LINDISFARNE (12) 47. Has yet to measure up to company as rich as this and in first race since March makes no appeal. W. Robinson 22 00 MOKAPUNA (11) 47. Too badly beaten in two attempts this season to be considered.
