Grey Way will be going after his fiftieth win; Flying View will be attempting to find his best form of last season; and Gretna Green will be trying for a win fresh up on the cours e where she made a memorable debut hvn vears

There is certainly material f for lively speculation in the a line-up for the Stewards’ i -Handicap, second leg of the J Ashburton County Racing / Club’s T.A.B. double today. Grey Way won the corresponding race fresh up five years ago. Whether he is capable, as a 10-year-old, of £ repeating the feat with Ikg /more today is one of the big J; question marks over the '.'race. ' " ■p Flying View followed up a third .in the Stewards’ -j Handicap at Ashburton a xj year ago by winning the J sprint on the second day. of 1 the meeting. Later he established his class against the 5 best by winning the Tele- - graph at Trentham. 4 ' Gretna Green made a .; memorable first appearance Sin the Rakaia Maiden two ’ years ago, winning by four / and a half. lengths. She ' » ended her thfee-year-old pro- ( * gramme by winning the 5 Warstep Stakes at Riccarton. . She was but of action for 2 all her four-year-old racing /last season because of a foot *■ injury, but today’s 1200 m 5 race offers her an. opportunity to extend a promising record. ■ : £ The ’ combined, efforts .of * Firpo, Lady Creosote, Firefly and. Highborn should have a big bearing on. the result of /the Gordons .Handicap, first leg of the T.A.B. double. Lord Beaufort, an impressive' winner at the Grand National meeting, will be one of the stronger fancies of the lesser lights in action today. He gets his chance in the Members’■' Handicap, third leg of • the T.A.B. treble. The consistent Katiki Gold is one of the top prospects for ‘ the First Pendarves ' Handicap, first leg of the T.A.B. treble, and '■ the promising four-year-old, Babble, should take beating in . the second leg of. the treble, the Hinds Maiden. . ■ KACEI 11.45 iim.— LONGBEACH HURDLE $1725; 2800 m. 1 2358 Malfsr fl 4) 63.0 N.
