Strong finisher for second to Royal Dell in Geraldine Cup, Won Ashburton Cup the lime before. Hard to beat In her present form. . M. Skelton 2 3421 SCOTCH WILLIAM (1) 56 (7 h Grey William—Alloa; B Jones, Washdyke). lias done most of his racing over less ground. Last-start win was over 1200 m at Wingatul. J. Pankhurst 3 601 CLARENDON GOLD (7) 55.5 (4 m Causeur—Golden Glynnis: C. Reese-Jones. Wingatul). Impressive winner of South Island Thoroughbred Stakes (1400 m on this course last month. Not likely to be troubled by step up to middle distance, 4 04 DEEP MYSTERY 117) 55 5 l 5 g Agiicola Inside Story;

J. Tonikinson, Riccarton) Looked close to best again when fourth in Geraldine Cup. a race he won last season, G. Mein | 5 080 KARNAK (9) 55.5 (5 m Bucentaur—Desert Secret; D. and L. Thistoll, Riccarton) Did not gallop with any con iidence on shifting track in Geraldine Cup. Capable of improvement given good foot ing. M. Mein 6 7547 ZARNIA (19) 54.5 <8 m Afghanistan—Lola; E. Cor boy, Wasbdykel. Might be troubled by this distance. 7 59 EUROPIUM (2) 54 (6 m Gate Keeper—Aoudo; D. and L. Thistoll, Riccarton). Back to something like her best distance. Chance if she finds her best form of last season, when she won three races and was consistently placed. P. Thistoll 8 2623 MR RICHMOND (11) 54 (5 h Greek God-Gone Astray; J. Healey. Richmond). . Pretty useful on soft tracks, and ran solid races for placings in Geraldine and Ashburton Cups, both won by stablemate Battle Joy. B. Lee 9 2435 ZEBAK (5) 54 (5 g Afghanistan—Pango; R. McCann, Riccarton). Distant third in Ashburton Cup before so-so fifth in Geraldine Cup. R. McCann 10 8613 BELL ROCK (20) 53.5 (6 g Bellborough—Magic Flute; J. Lalor. Ashburton). Two most recent runs were on heavy tracks at Wingatul. Might be tested by stronger class here. B. Browne 11 904 CLASSIC LEGEND (15) 53.5 (7 g Greek God—Nimbus Queen; D. and L. Thistoll. Riccarton). Does not win out of turn, but placed run would not surprise. B. Hibberd 12 0976 ELCANO (14) 53.5 (7 g Copenhagen ll—La Farae; M Jones, Washdyke). Form for the most part uninspiring.

D. Walsh 13 0444 AMBROSE LODGE (18) 53 (6 g St Ambrose ll—Lady Lodge; B. Jones, Washdyke). Seldom runs badly on soft tracks, but finding success elusive.

P. Jones 14 584 CAPPELLO (8) 53 (5 g Ribotlight—Caplin; C, Austin Riccarton). Improver’s run for fourth. 2200 m, at Wingatui, October' 2. P. Smith 15 7231 ENDOWERED (10) 53 (5 g Ribotlight—Dower; J. E. Shaw, Washdyke). Last-start win was over 1400 m in class 3. Bred to make the grade over more ground. G. Heaton 70 000 SOLDIER GIRL (6) 53 (4 m Old Soldier —Pendeen; C. Reese-Jones, Wingatui). Has not recaptured her best two-year-old form. 19 06 ROBANNA (3) 53 (5 m Mellay—Vivien Robe; J Lalor. Ashburton), Sound run

in South Island Thoroughbred Stakes last time out. Won t be the least of the chances if she has made normal improvement. 17 1764 LOMOND QUEEN (10) 53 (5 in Lomond—Queen Neptune; A. Prendergast, Wingatui). Fair run in weaker field over 2150 m at Winton meeting. 16 898 JOINT EFFORT (13) 53 (6 h Ribotlight—Highness; P. Jones Riccarton). Had no luck in running in Geraldine Cup. 18 79 MHORLIGHT (4) 53 (4 h Mhor—Royal Opera; R. Harris, Tuahiwi). Sharp improvement needed. L. Collins 2.30 p.m.— HAWTHORN HANDICAP

17 7 Bar (4) 52.0 3.10 p.m.— GERALDINE CHALLENGE STAKES $2550; 1400 m.

R. McAra Balloted out in order of reentry: 1 0 Anita Louise (14) 53.0 3.50 p.m.— GORDONS HANDICAP, $1505; 1200 m. I 1 08 GREY WAY (2) 61 (6 g Grey William—Waybrooke; E. Corboy, Washdyke). Expensive failure in two starts so far this season, but those races should have brought him close to his peak. Top chance if track is dry. D. Holden 2 8 PANAGOR (10) 56 (6 g Copenhagen H— Raydella; R. Pankhurst, Invercargill). One of class sprinters in this field, and w'ill go close if track is firm. J. Pankhurst 3 67 SURGE AGAIN (17) 52.5 (7 g Resurgent—Never Again; D. and L. Thistoll, Riccarton). Nippy sprinter when he comes to form. Disappointing last time, but rates another chance.

J. Pankhurst 4 THE BLUES (4) 51 (7 g Tromba—Blue Night; Mrs V. Harris, Riccarton). First start since autumn. Has sharp speed and might go close here if lie gets good footing.

G. Lee 5 33 CORRANDULLA (16) 49 (10 g Bourbon Prince—Sonarc; A. Georgeson, Wingatui). Wearing well, but more likely improvers elsewhere in this field. 6 31 GREAT BLAZE (1) 49 (4 g Mellay—Debbie Marie; J. Lalor, Ashburton). Showed sprinting prowess iu easy win on this course at this distance last month. Looks hard to beat.

D Walsh 7 TOP SECRET (1) 49 (5 m Mellay—Entrance; C. ReeseJones, Wingatui). Fresh runner. Won five races last season. beating some useful sprinters, including Surge Again, Kowhai Glen at Ric carton In May. M. Skelton 8 2754 EROS (5) 48.5 (7 g Greek God—llluminate; M. Jones, Washdyke). Latest run on soft track at Wingatui. Might lack the sharp speed necessary to win this one.

P. Jones 9 RUY LOPEZ (6) 48 (5 g Oak ville—Never Again; D. and L. Thistoll, Riccarton). Hardly likely to shine at this distance. Brighter chances later.

M. Mein 11 2492 ROYAL VIEW (15) 47.5 (5 g Grey William—Loch View; M. Jones, Washdyke). Good second to Scotch William this distance, Wingatui, October 2. R. McAra 12 TARR lON (9| 47.5 (4 g Aristoi—Nursic; Mrs G. Gulleiy. Woodend). First start since May. Will find this formidable fresh up. 14 1460 EMPRESS DIAL (14) 47 (7 m Fountainhead Dini; G. Hawthorne. Washdyke). Showed nothing in feature females’ race hero lasi month.

M. McPhie 18 002 SILVER COAT (3) 47 (3 g Final Orders—Lady Mansfield; H. Register, Riccarton). Beaten In class 3 last time.

Looks out of his depth here B. Hibberd 15 ENTOURAGE (8) 47 <6 it Faux Tlrage—Miss Rhondda; J. Tom k Inson. Rlecartonl. Dis

appointing In much of his racing since early In career. Balloted out in order of reentry:

17 85 RECALITAS (7) 47 (4 m Regal Is It Alomisc; E <’orboy, Washdyke) Useful run In class 3 sprint at Winga tul. This harder.

16 96 JIPCHO (12) 47 (4 m Sovereign Prince—Jay Em, I. Thomas (Riccarton), Likely to find this class too formidable. Scratched: Sun Hagen (13). 4.25 p.m.— WALES BANK HANDICAP, $1150; 1200 m.
