Auditory has appealing form in Tapanui Cup

Special correspondent Dunedin Auditory is favoured for the Tapanui Cup at the Tapanui Racing Club's meeting tomorrow in spite of her unplaced run at Invercargill on Monday. Auditory finished barely two lengths from the upset winner. Tercero. on Monday. She came from back in the field as usual and the slow pace was against her. Audi-

tory won at Invercargill at her previous start on November 20 and she is at a high level of fitness. Jim Collett has the mount. Syrie Boye showed a sign of winning form when he fought oh well for third behind Tercero and Mary Wake on Monday. He blew heavily after his race at Beaumont two days earlier. Syri'e Boye looks up to coping’ with the opposition tomorrow. Myra May's third placing at Beaumont and solid finish-

ing fifth on Monday give her a claim, while Medamac will not be the least of chances and Hiwinui is capable of a bold showing in her first race for 11 months. Medamac has won two middle distance races in lesser company at Invercargill this season and she. finished second to Mary Wake in a class one event at Gore. Valraine, which has finished a close second in each of her last two starts, is in line for a win in the West

Otago Handicap, the second leg of the T.A.B. double. Sydney James beat her by a short neck over 1225 m at Beaumont last week when in receipt of a kilogram. Allowing that Chris Roberts will again ride Sydney James at 52.5 kg. Valraine is only o.skg better off. Maybe Foxy is attempting to repeat his win of last year, he lacks lead up racing this time, but has raced well fresh. He rarely finished out of a place last season.
