Up 6kg this time under different scale but always a chance. M. Hill 2 2015 Blue Rula 4 57.5 Won at Hastings on April 24. but only sth at Gisborne last Saturday. Does not perform best on heavyground but usually runs well in any conditions. S Autridge 3 5243 Wren's Pride 1 57.5 Good, rugged galloper in sound form. Must be considered. P. Tims 4 4302 Smart Devil 8 56.0 Free goer from New Plymouth in pretty sound form and beat all except Merman over 2100 m at Ellerslie, last Saturday. C.

Robinson 6 0009 Stevie Wonder 9 54.0 Rising 10 years old and best future may be as a hurdler but still capable on the flat. T. Williams 7 9537 Lightning 3 53.5 Did his best when 7th over 2100 m at Ellerslie, last Saturday, but change to soft ground was against him. Chances of getting track to suit are running out. 8 1490 Mickey Flynn 2 52.5 Did not show up over • 2100 m at Ellerslie last Saturday, and also rear group over 2100 m at Tauranga on April 24. Best chance on a firm ' track. 9 09 Prancer 12 52.5 Once good galloper making come back. Could be . expected to have improved with recent racing. 10 0056 Kahawai 5 50.5 Out of form since last spring but will appreciate change to softer track conditions. 11 8889 Teri Lad 13 50.5 Much improvement needed, but probably would be belter for recent racing. 12 5345 Swift Venture 11 50.0 Moderate sth over 2000 m at Gisborne on Tuesday, but goes few poor races and is always a chance. D. Peake 13 0351 Tai Chief 6 50.0 On good run of longdistance form. Some chance if track not too bad. 14 0870 Tropic Star 7 50.0 Good wet-weather galloper which is showing improvement after recent spell. Chance for a place. C. Cossill Race 8 3.20 T.A.B.

Handles most types of tracks but weight might steady him if ground sticky. C. McNab 2 1221 Divine Poem 12 59.5 Stablemate of Our Shah also in fine form. Won well at Avondale over 1200 m. on May 1. handling soft ground better than generally expected. 3 3504 Culhmore 1 58.5 Foxbridge Plate and Whyte Handicap winner having’ third start in new campaign. 4 7215 Giovanni 14 56.0 Racing solidly and did well to run sth over 1400 m at Ellerslie, last Saturday, as not regarded as a genuine soft-track galloper. 5 7052 Tavern Queen 3 54.5 Hawera mare which usually runs well at Te Rapa. D Pe<ike 6 9380 Prior's Luck 4 53.5 Capable winter sprinter which was a bit disappointing when only 10th, at Ellerslie, last Saturday. Worth another chance. 7 9502 Uncommon 11 53.5 Smart in bad ground and showed plenty of dash when 2nd to Divine Poem over 1200 m. at Avondale on Mav 1 in first race since September. Won two trials beforehand so clearly close to best. K. Treweek >

8 1561 Royal Amura 6 53.0 Dashing sprinter which needs firm ground to do best. D. Stockwell 9 1605 Derbin 15 52.5 Top winter sprinter at good position in weights to quickly recapture form. W. Robinson 10 8867 Nip Dee 1 52.0 beat one over 1200 m at Ellerslie, on April 12 in first race since September. Should be better for that one. C. Cossill 11 9007 Swaps 2 52.0 Speedy type which holds good form in bad ground and should have improved with latest racing. G. Grylis 12 0512 Hillcrest Lad 9 51.5 Won 1200 m at Gisborne, last Saturday, then 2nd (here on Tuesday. Form has improved since tracks softened. G. Cooksley 13 4967 Prince Lee 18 51.5 W.F.A. winner in heavy ground. This well be third race after summer break. 14 1159 Silver Supreme 17 510 First race since March, 1981, being off scene with injury. Hard to see showing up here. 15 4211 Taim 16 51.0 Again looked good when winning class 4 over 1200 m at Avondale on April 28. This is big step up but could be prominent at the weights. 16 4 Word Of Honour 7 51.0 Bold galloper whose career has oeen restricted because of injury. This will be first race since July but likely to be in call for a fair way. 17 6537 Silver March 13 51.0 First race since February. Has the ability to go a good race fresh. E. Harrison 18 4 Flaming Arrow 5 51.0 Promising return to racing when 4th at Te Awamutu on March 13. Might need this one but has plenty of ability.
