Peddie, Washdyke). Form in this grade lately has been very solid all round. Certain to be hard to beat if the going is firm. R. McCann 2 3918 HECKLE'S CHOICE (9) 52 <9 g Better Honey—Dark Noon; W. J. Calder, Otaki). Won middle-distance impressively on second day of C.J.C. Easter meeting. Wearing well for his age and will command respect. R. Heaslip 3 4090 STUNNAMEOE (3) 52. <6 g Stunning—Diomede; W. G. Ivil, Awapunl). Recent record in his local district: not impressive but could j raise the level of his form a bit in this field. N. Waddell 4 9007 SUN PRINCE (13) 51 (5 g Gigantic—Truth or Fancy, B. Cowan, Waverley). Showed good form as sprinter earlier in career but ’ would have to be taken on trust at this distance on latest showings. G. Cooksley 5 7810 ARBOUR (2) 50.5 (4 m Masthead ll—Golden Bow’er; L. and R. Robinson, Matangi). Won middle-distance race impressively at Riverton last Tuesday week but form allround not very consistent. 6 8564 BLEU STREAK (15) 50.5 (7 g Bellborough— Tarras; E. Templeton, Awapuni). Showed top form as hurdler last winter but still retains enough pace to make his presence felt on the flat. Must rate reasonable chance in this field.

B. Lee 7 0993 SOLO (4) 50.5 (4 h Sobig —Registan; J. T. Walker, Tauherenikau). Fair third on his home course on Easter Monday but too inconsistent to recommend with much confidence.

8 7535 BOLD LION (11) 50 (6 g Lionhearted—Gay Samaritan; C. Wallace, Otaki). Chance here if iie runs up to the form which earned him a third behind Varnamo at Nelson last month.

9 0739 LORD SAHIB (10) 49.51 >5 h Khan Sahib —Llanarae;’ I. W. Thomas, Riccarton). Recent form has been a bit patchy but must rate chance on the strength of his third to Varnamo at Nelson two starts back. M. McPhie 10 5843 SOUND BARRIER (8): 49.5 17 g Quetzal—Elusive Flash; K. W. Quayle, Riccarton). Turned in one of his| better efforts when third to. Heckle’s Choice and Anita! Kay at Riccarton last! Wednesday Looks close to best which .s pretty useful. P. Smith. 11 1496 IRISH DUKE (7) 49.5 (4 g King Canary—Brown Bess;] A. Pringle, Hastings). Keeps turning in fairly honest! efforts but inclined to get; back a bit in the running: and could find this turning course tricky. D. Withington 12 1342 LATERYL (16) 49.5 (5 m Sucaryl—Latin; J. Lalor, Ashburton). About as conI sistent as they come but this will be toughest test D. Walsh 13 0060 MR RICHMOND (1) 49.5 (5 h Greek God—Gone Astray; J. H. Healey, Richmond) Not suited by the firm tracks he has encountered lately and form unlikely to sharpen until he gets easier going. 14 0141 SOVEREIGN CLOUD (14) 49.5 <3 f Sovereign PrinceDesert Mystery; E. Temperton. Awapunl). Looked good in winning at Nelson anl Ranglora on her latest campaign. This looks harder but eould still be hard to peg back around the turns here. B. Hibberd 15 0070 SPRINGS ETERNAL (12) 49.5 (4 g Rego Star —Our Klttv; C. Quinn. Nelson), llaid to fancy on latest form j but (here could be some Improvement If he struck an easy track. >6 0950 WATELSE (6) 49.5 (5 I) i Mellav- Swankv; W. S. I.atl i mer. Riccarton). Has showr marked ability at times Ir fields as strong as this but would have to Improve con sldcrablv on anything he ha; i; shown lately to be a whinlm i chance. > UaIMM 3.15 p.m.— ‘| REID HANDICAP $1300: 2OOOm. 1 5010 Mission Viejo ,8) 57.1 > N.

3.55 p.m.— GILBEYS GIN HANDICAP $1505; 1400 m. 1 2502 KAYENTA (2) 54.5 (4 m My Heart—Net Chord; A. Koolman, Otaki). Form allround since her three-year-old days has been a bit disappointing but could still take beating here from handy draw alter fair second at Otaki on Wednesday. D. Withington 2 1611 MARIA ZANA (16) 46.5 (4 m Zamazaan—Coolftri; D. Matthews, Waikanae). Struck solid patch of winning form over middle distances at Nelson but iiard task here at tills distance from so wide a draw. 3 0023 TARRION (12) 55 (4 g Aristoi—Nursie; Mrs G. Gallery, Woodend). Performed well for minor placings in sprints at Nelson and Rangiora and should be thereabouts again on this turning course.

M. McPhie 4 9670 TE PANGO NUI (Z) 55 (5 h Greek God -Carlton; R. 1 T. Harris, Tuahiwl). Finding 1 it hard to regain best form on firm tracks. Prospects 1 would brighten if there is I rain to ease the ground. ( M, Thornley 5 7470 KANGA'S LAD (6) 54.5 1 (4 h Gold Sovereign—Elorama; M. Burridge and D. Poeock, Hastings). Has been 1 racing in tougher class lately than lie will encounter here and should be approaching . form which gave him a vic- 1 tory in this race last year. i 6 3111 LAST DEAL (15) 54 (5 g Copenhagen ll—Allbut; P. Spratt. Tauherenikau). Made big impression in winning twice at Nelson and on his home track last time out. Draw could be against him here but will still command respect. 7 2141 TOM BOWLING (3) 54 (3 g Copenhagen ll—Messalina: W. G. Ivil. Awapunl). Pretty consistent performer; allround and looks a bit: above average. Should be. one of top chances. G. Cooksley 1 ! 8 4219 STONEY TOPAZ (9)1 53.5 (3 c Trophy Cast—Topaz; P. H. Jones, Riccarton). Failed to make an impression when making fresh start at Riccarton last Wednesday week but looked well! and may not be long striking peak form. B. Hibberdl 9 8070 STYLISH PAL (14) 53.51 (10 g My Pal—Pleasure Craft; 1 Ik Deacon, Hau ora >. Comes up with the odd good run still but latest form suggests age might at last be catching up with him. 10 2108 AUGUSTINE (1) 53.0 (5 g Aureate 11—Falrlfe Grove; E. Rayner. Marton). Has failed in his last two starts; but pretty capable at best , and could still be one of the j ! top chances among the light | weights. M Price] 11 6900 CANDIDATE (5' 53 gi Candid Picture SovllJh. A. J. and P. J. Williams, Ricca r-| ton Has had time to freshen since hr last raced but still hard to fancy on form. P Smith 12 8907 ENDOWERED (11) 53 5 g Hlbotlight Dower: J. K. Shaw. Waslulvko). Has done nothing this time up to suggest a win dose nt hand. M. Moin 13 6476 Hl* GESTURE (4) 53 i 4 g Charlclcs Mavbcso; 11. T. Harris. Tuahlv h. Speedv type which won his first rn<o on this course. Has done nothing significant* lately but could take catching around the turns here. L. Collins

14 2100 JIM 808 (10) 53 (3 c Fountainhead — Reelton Queen; J. Lalor, Ashburton). Consistent performer earlier in season but form tapered off during summer. Fresh-up here and might go fairly bodly. D. Walsh 15 0599 JOINT EFFORT (8) 53 (6 h Ribotlight—Highness; P. 11. Jones, Riccarton). Outpaced when making fresh starts among sprinters at Riccarton last Wednesday. Not fancied at this distance. 16 3655 KELDOR (13) S 3 (4 h Belmura — Mille; Mrs P. Wildbore, Hokitika). Has the pace to be thereabouts most of the way but hard to fancy from such a wide draw. Balloted out with right of reentry: 17 1816 ROYAL STRIKE (17) S 3 (5 g Bally Royal—Gayeio; W. J. Calder, Otaki). Recent winner at Ranglora and Riccarton but draw could prove troublesome here even if lie gets a start. B.
