PAHIATUA PROSPECTS
■MEETING OPENS TO-MORROW
The scene will be changed to Pahiatua to-morrow for the annual meeting of the Pahiatua Club. The course is quite a good one for a country body, and the acceptances surpass anything of recent years received by tiie club. So far as could be learned, quite a number of horses who
raced at Trcntham last week arc going on to the meeting. As a good deal of ruin j fell in the district, the racing track should be in excellent order. The first race will bo at noon. This is the MAIDEN BACK, of S5 soys; six furlongs and 55 yards; weight, 8.7. Austerity Golden Area Waterspear Bicker Imperial Fame Tourist Miss Atlanta Valpine Merry Mixture Mothplano Mint Belle , Monetize Mademoiselle St. Melba. Kcflccto Tunbridgo Wee Knight The Percli Townscction Trentham form points unmistakably to St. Melba, especially after the victory of Paris on Saturday, for St. Kilba finished alongside Paris behind Millais on the opening day at Trontham. Mothplane, who lias shown some pace, may be the best of the remainder.

The Swell, Rowley, Lin Arlington, Queen's Choice, Imperial Spark, and Deluge are all likely to be in the market. Imperial Spark has shown a flash of his old form lately, and at the weights he may go well in this field.

Billion's second placing to Atholspear at Trentham also roads like very good form for an event like the above.

On recent form he looks a possibility. Maui and Henna are a Foxton-trained pair with chances, and The Swell and Royal Lineage cannot be disregarded. Courageous may be the best of the lightweight brigade. Henna, Toxeuma, and Courageous may do best.

Moutoa Wonder and Shining Star have also attractive form, while St. Melba may be produced in this event. Form points to Royal Lineage.

Australis and Tom Byrne are two lightweights who can gallop fast, but Atholspear would appear to dominate the position. PRESIDENT'S HANDICAP, of 133 soys; six-furlongs and 153 yards. • stlD stlb KUlgemount .. '■) 1 Inferno 7 9 Kailioro 8 6 Dobbin ...... 1 5 Veronese ....

Ridgemount and Millais represent winning form, Ridgemount in particular having shaped very well against the best class sprinters in his only appearance at Ircntliam Kaihoro and Veronese also had only one rim at Trentham. Kaihoro is smart, and she may be too good for Ridgemount at the weights. Millais may be the best of the rest.

A very -likely one o£ the rest is Balloon, whose Foxton form viewed m retrospect was particularly good, lor even though he had a lucky run there Hernia, Gold Cure, and Mister Gamp finished behind him.
