FRIDAY FRANKLIN SERGALINA (Race 9), b m syrs, by Sergio Hanover— Lady Evalina: trained at Ohaupo by D. Alexander. Has been racing well from handicap marks in latest starts. Comes in off the front tonight and should prove more than a match for this line-up. MATAMATA BOUNTY HAWK (Race 8), b h. syrs. by High Top—Northern Tavern; trained at Cambridge by C. P. McNab. An import from Great Britain which has shaped promisingly in two starts here, running a fine third fresh-up at this distance (1600 m to March Sea and Mellayling at Avondale in June. Must go close here. SATURDAY AUCKLAND ROYAL GRIT (Race 9), b g. 4yrs. by Allgrit—Rapid Reply: trained at Cambridge by A. L. Jones. One" of the best Waikato sprinters, he has a strong form background for this and looks a second-to-none chance. CANTERBURY ELOPE (Race 3), b f. 3yrs. by Vice Regal—Gretna Green: trained at Riccarton by D. M. Kerr. Attractively bred filly now likely to' confirm the promise she showed in a light first-season programme. Close second over 1200 m here last Saturday week, and should be improved enough by that race to break through for her first win tomorrow.
LEVIN DURHAM LAD (Race 1), b g. 6yrs, by Master Sobig— Smart 'Lass; trained at Hawera by W. D. Myers.
Another one of the strong Myers' representatives, he won stylishly last time out at Wanganui’ on July 27 and in the same sort of form, should not find this outside his capabilities.
