Easter. .IEET has a habit of winning on the country circuits up north. Of those weighted lower in the handicap the promoted hack MAID OF SHERWOOD looks to have the best show MAUNGATAPERE HANDICAP The Maungatapere Handican is the only other open race on the programme the first day. MASTER TED wears the No- 1 saddle cloth and, despite his failure tast week, will not be neglected However. Dougal and Shirley Fox, both engaged in the mile and a ouartcr race, are also engaged hero and if started would be better backed than the top-weight. From SHIRLEY FOX there is a drop of 151 b to the next on the list, which just about sums up the difference in class. Among those weighted liehtlv. BA BROW (well overdue!.
