THE MARTON CLUB

WELL-BALANCED FIELDS With the exception of the open sprint, the fields for the Marton Jockey Club's Meeting'tomorrow have filled well, and the maiden event hasbeen divided. A very useful field is engaged in the Marton* Cup. Alethea who won the Louisson Memorial on the second- day at Awapuni, is topweight with 8.13, and then come Don Quex, who will be having his first outing since his return from the New Zealand Cup Meeting, when leg trouble overtook h.im, and Yogi who ran Longsword so close in the Manawatu Cup, and again ran a good race on the second day. Spirit and Broiefield, both of whom were winners on Boxing Day at Awapuni,'the former over nine furlongs in the open ranks and the latter over a mile and a quarter in the hack grade, are down to hav?u a- tlJt for. the biS prize. Based on their finishing efforts, neither can be overlooked, more particularly the latter should the going be firm A.reversion to soft tracks would ruin the prospects of certain runners whereas others would be improved *iA' b# Presuming that the going will be firm, the following should be accorded support:— • v Maiden Race.—First division: Eagle Flight, Coratrix.
