MARLBOROUGH PROSPECTS

TO-MORROW'S CARD

The Marlborough Meeting will be commenced to-morrow, when track conditions should bo Bimilar to those obtaining at Nelson last week. Accordingly tho form should work out well, although there are a few new-comers to add interest to proceedingß. The first event ia tho

Jmateagirl was iv third place in the maiden events at the last Marlborough Meeting to Shot Silk and Lady Rene.

Houaki is in good form, but. he is now very close to Black Mint. Kilbronsyth disappointed at Nelson and cannot be recommended. Imarosebud is reported sold, but if she is produced she is more than a mere possibility. With any luck at all, Black .Mint should come into his own. BEAVER HANDICAP, of 100 sols; six st ib. st Hi.

Wake Up is a likely improver, and The Dove and Catuna may show up* with their light weights. Reckless, if she elects to do her best, would be very hard to beat in this field. The Dove ami the Rockloss-Wake Up bracket may be in demand. AUTUMN HANDICAP, of 130 sows; six furlongs. st Hi. si Hi.

Cup, slic should be very hard to beat. Spodc at 7 stone has a chance, for she ran a good race last Saturday at Nelson. This pair may do best.

If Kiriana is reserved, he should register a good performance under 7.U. Ronaki and Maui both have penalties. Kilbronsyth, with a stronger horseman and kept for this race', may make amends for his Nelson failures, and the distance should suit him.
