SHOULD RUN WELL

A CHANCE FOR LORD LUCK (Special to "The Post.") AUCKLAND, This Day. A fresh horse in Lord Luck has been getting through a good deal of pleasing work of late weeks and he will strip well in the Ngataring-i Handicap at Ellerslie on Saturday. Kindroon will have a chance, and a likely improver is My Bonnie, who was only deprived of third place last week in the sprint in the last stride.

The higher scale of weights in the open mile at Ellerslie on Saturday has loaded the dice in favour of the lesser lights, and horses like Royal Master and Royal Merit will have a bi« advantage. Nepeta, a hot favourite last week, was ridden fast ir the early part and compounded, while Gay Lally another hope, is up to 9.0 with him The first-mentioned pair appeal most The Rakino Handicap at Ellerslie on Saturday is confined to fillies For this reason Regal Praise heads the list and she should show up if she has not lost form. Brierly went a fine race in the Avondale Stakes earlier this month, being narrowly beaten by Beau le Havre, and she is susceptible to some improvement. However Rcaal Praise is a good filly and should win again. A surprisingly good race was forthcoming in the distance hack last Saturday fx-om Ostentatious, who only weakened in the last bit to finish fifth He was the leader throughout and the showing he made was not anticipated by totalisalor investors, for he was at over three figures on the win machine The Dink gelding is engaged again in this class on Saturday and should improve. With a drop of 41b in the weights Kerry Lad is in a better position Than he was last week to make a showin° in the Pupuke Handicap. 1," mile's on Saturday. The three-year-old is'expected to have derived some beneli1 from his recent outing. f or he then looked as if he wanted a race.

Wit:. Diamond King out of the way Corsac should be able to account for the opposition in the Kawau Hurdles en Saturday. He was always handy last week, but was up against a pretty tough proposition in the Matamat'a jumper, who gave a very dashing display. Corsac has not had a great deal of experience yet his record to date has been very encouraging. This contest will mark the northern debut of the Awapuni jumper Mynet. who met with a mishap while schooling last week.
