The main race is the WOULEY HANDICAP, of 113 soys; ono mile, stlb stlb Warfllle .... 9 0 Johncen .... 8 0 Shortly S 10 KlHlgrew ..8 0 Jvotowortuy .. 8 9 Coomasaie' ..8 0 flolclbag ..:.. 8 5 Kortsllce ... 111 Wiito liinglet S 0 Fallow 710 • There is nothing to enthuse over in the 'class for the Morley Handicap, but it is probably above the average both in finality and quantity, and the race should be evenly contested. The horse with best .recent form is Wai-Bile, and although she appears to have, her full share of weight .she should go well, for her succession of ■wins'has been decisively obtained. Her most serious opponent reads to be Killigrew, who displayed much promise at Trenthnm in January, and lias been working well since. Other prospects are the J-ieet'ton winners, Goldbag and Coomassie, and the- former Kiccarton. horse Note- j worthy. If Noteworthy were near his ]iest form ho would be on hand at the finish.
