WAIKATO WINTER GAME (Race 5), b m 6 yrs by Game Pride—Winter Mis’s, trained at Kumeu by O. and M. Nicholas. Model of consistency in her latest racing she looks ready for a winning turn.

Collett. , A half-sister to Dawnway, she was a fine fourth behind Hint and company in the fillies classic at Invercargill on November 22 and looks a second-to-none chance against the maidens here. TE AROHA VIVACIOUS (Race 8), b f 3 yrs by Battle Waggon-Watch Valdi, trained at Takanini by B. F. and B. R. Deacon. Resumed on a winning note at Dargaville on November 18. In the same form will take beating again. THAMES BLABS (Race 2), b c 3 yrs by Tudor Hanover-Margaric, trained at Waiuku by I. Hillier. Runner-up to the promising Village Kid at Alexandra Park last time out, he should find this field a lot easier. WAIMATE ACADEMY (Race 4), b m, 6 yrs, by Noodlum—Flying Gay, trained at Tinwald by J. L. Ferguson. Has run up an exasperating list of placings. Long overdue for a win, which should come in this rather weak field.
