FORBURY PARK TROTS

Good Quality Cup Field REVIEW OF PROSPECTS (By OvEuciiiiCK.) The Forbury ’[’rotting Club has received excellent acceptances for its meeting which opens to-day. The Dunedin Cup field, though not strong numerically, should provide a great race as the eight engaged arc horses of the highest class. I’lutus has bad a great run of late, but he will be fully tested by the present company. Betting will be on the single pool system. The card is as follows: — 12.45— VAUXH'ALL HANDICAP, of £175: 343 class. Ono mile and a halt. Appomatox .. scr Fair Voyage .. 3C Fluke scr Sphinx >(; Jenny’s Guy .. scr Anna’s Voyage -IS Jock McGrath fer Bosun 48 Kilbirnie Dan' scr Orphan Bingen BO Gaynor 24 Parrish Chimes dParrlsh Guido 24 Peggotty .... i2 Horses likely to be in demand in tlie Vauxhall Handicap are Jenny's Guy. Gaynor and Kilbirnie Dan. Gaynor did a very good trial recently and may be the popular fancy. 1.20— SOUTHLAND HANDICAP, of £200: 3.38 class. One mile and 11 half. Wax Vestas .. scr Shandon Adverse scr , Chimes scr Fremont scr Jean Dewey .. 12 New Ideal .... scr John Norham Lady . scr Desborough lParaurl scr Marlene 1I’rlncess Rey . scr Policy 1'Royal Doultou scr Master Potts .. -4 Seascape .... scr Guy win 30 The favourite for the Southland Handicap will no doubt be Fremont. There are, however, a number of promising performers in the field and of these Wax Vestas and Marlene may be in most demand. 2.0 ELECTRIC HANDICAP, of £225; .3.30 class. One mile and a halt. Agility 12 Red Pigeon . u Embark 12 Reno 12 Fay Rey 12 Silver Laddie 12 Great Divide . 12 Carver Doone . 12 Icevus 12 Credit Funds . 12 Loyal Pat .... 12 Donald Dhu 12 Morewa 12 Reylena 12 Molly Direct . 12 Silver Guy •••• 24 Monty Chimes 12 Another useful field is engaged in the Electric Handicap’. Grgnt Divide is <1 very good sort, though he does not always go away right. Donald Dhu showed good form in the far south recently and, with Fay Rey, may follow Great Divide in the betting. 2.35— DUNEDIN CUP HANDICAP, of £700; 4.26 class. Two miles. Pnrisienne .. scr Graham Direct 12 Plutus see Pot Luck 12 Cloudy Range . 12 War Buoy .... 12 Evicus 12 Willow Wave .. 48 The Dunedin Cup should provide a keen contest. Parisienne and. Plutus are sure to have a large army of supporters and from off the front should have every chance of a good passage. War Buoy’s form at two miles has been somewhat disappointing and Pot Luck and Graham Direct may be preferred. Willow Wave, with his Auckland honours upon him. cannot lightly be passed over but, all things considered, preference may be shown for Pot Luck, Graham Direct, and Plutus. 3.10— OTAGO HANDICAP, of £2OO ; 3.58 class. One mile and five furlongs. Anna’s Voyage scr Leeway J’Appomatox . scr Orphan Bingen 1Bosun ...i.... scr Parachute -4 Gaynor scr Parrish Chimes 24 Parrish Guide . scr Golden Bingen 36 Sphinx sc l- Prince Survivor .... scr Harvester 48 Walter Wrack', scr pilot Peter ....

Bill Grattan .. scr Nell Grattan .. scr Cruiser scr Prince Charles scr Direct Thorpe . scr Seaward de Oro scr Duskv Sound . ser Trltoma scr Ferry Post ... scr Sea Trail 1Glenastlo ...scr Frisco Silk ... 24 Guvwln scr Silver Laddie . 48 The Musselburgh Handicap will probably find Ferry Post at the head of the betting. Cruiser and Dusky Sound are a pair that may also be well supported. 4,20 KING GEORGE HANDICAP, of £225; 3.4 class. One mite and three furlongs. Lvnwood ...scr Renown s Best 1Iraq scr Southern Smile 1Isabel Derby .. 12 Gunfire -J Morello 12 Rongomal .. -4 Recess 1? ~ . ~ Another small field will contest the King George Handicap. Iraq has again struck form and should be hard ,to beat. Southern Smile is due at any time, and Rongomai- is racing in greatly improved form. The latter may be the popular selection. -1.55— FLYING HANDICAP, of £.300: 2.44 class. One mile and a quarter. Guv Junior .■■ scr Satin King ... 1Lucky Jack .. ser Cloudy Range . •>(> Evicu's 12 Tempest .... »l> Plutus 12 Lucky Jack and the Cloudy RangeTempest bracket will no doubt monopolise the betting in itie Flying Handicap.
