EGMONT RACES

OPENING DAY TO=MORROW FORM OF THE CANDIDATES REVIEW BY “LIMITED” Although the fields for the Egmont Racing Club’s meeting to-morrow will be smaller than usual, good oompetij lion can be confidently expected and j a fin© day’s isport anticipated. The .racecourse, when inspected this morning, was in perfect order for galloping and provided the weather remains fine a splendid racing track is assured. OH AAV E HURDLES. Of £7O. One mile and a-half. Teiiacre 10 10 Calamine 9 1 Kimbo 9 7 Day Lass 9 0 Marjoram 9 3 Invictus 9 0 The programme opens with the Ohawe Hurdles, which has not attract'ed a large field. Kiniibo and Inv.iotns | have performed promisingly. The top-' .weight, Tenacre, however, is particularly well handicapped and the public will probably make Tenacre, Kimbo and Invictus the order of favouritism. ' JUVENILE HANDICAP. Of £6O. Five furlongs. Pesolieira 8 2 Wharaurangi 7 5 i Merry Way 8 1 Shillong: 7 2 Welcome Lu 7 13 Lady Bent 7 0 Miss Cavendish' 7 13 Icier 7 0 No Doubt 7 10 Bold Baron 7 0 Royal Dash 7 9 Hunting Lodge 7 0 Prince Reno 7 8 The Juvenile Handicap has filled well and tile betting should take a wide range. Of the three-year-olds Merry Wav looks well placed and Miss Cavendish should see out the* five furlongs strongly enough. Of the two-year-olds that have performed with promise Prince Reno and No Doubt have best credentials. Iceir, Lady Beut and Shil-| long have shown pace on the local track.; Prince Reno, Merry Way and Miss Cavendish will all claim big support. EGMONT CUP. Of £2OO. One mile and a-quarter. Riclifield 8 10 Shrewd 7 3 Fiji 8 10 Aga, Khan 7 2 Habit 8 5 Lady Spy 7 0 Gibraltar 8 3 Monaloil' 7 0 In the Egmont Cup 'Richfield and Fiji have recent form to their credit. Fiji's AVellington Cup performance was a good one and, although lie failed at Ashhurst, he went down to a good form horse in B ramble tor n. Richfield ran good races at Manawatu and .Stratford, 1 but failed at AVellington. Lady Spy, j' Habit and Shrewd are all recent win- ' j ners. Aiga Khan is likely to run in the ; Nolan Handicap and the public selections may be Fiji, Shrewd and Lady 1 SP? ‘ FLYING HANDICAP. ; Of £IOO. Six furlongs. r Lady Quex 9 0 Green Linnet 7 5 Arvada 7 7 Eastertime 7 0^ The Tiger 7 6 Headmaster 7 0 1 In the Flying Handicap Lady Quex . is not unduly treated and she is re-j 1 ported to have been shelving all her J old brilliancy in her track work. Afvada., The Tiger and Green Linnet 1 are all fast over six furlongs and, on his home track, The Tiger may- be preferred to Lady Quex and Arvada. NOLAN HANDICAP. Of £IOO. Eight and a-half furlongs Aga. Khan 9 0 Da.vistorti 8 0 Arikitea 8 3 Glowliglit 7 11 Attentive 8 1 Tentoali 7 A If reserved for the Nolan If a ncli cap, Aga Khan will dominate the betting far this event with Tentcall, who has been working well, a second choice. AYHA REROA HANDICAP. Of £9O. Eight furlongs and a-half. « Habit 9 5 Calamine 8 0 a Tenacre 8 A Eastertime 8 0 rj chief Line 8 2 Lady Spy 8 0 / Lucky Alice 8 2 La Crown 0 0 j In the weights for the AYharevoa 5 Handicap run over eight and a-half fur- j longs only four pounds separate seven ( of the competitors. Here again Tenacre is well in, also Chief Line and p Lucky Alice. The last-named and Chief Line may carry most support. r AVATPAPA HACK. Of £7O.

FINAL TRACK WORK

(By “Limited.”)

Final work of the horses preparing for to-monow’s meeting was performed under good conditions yesterday and this morning on the Hawera tracks. - Aga Khan again went impressively over seven furlongs in 1.31. Green Linnet, alter running her first half mile in 50=}sec, finished up over six furlongs in 1.16 4-5. Ten teal! and Richfield were companions over seven furlongs traversed in 1.31). Tentcall, although in receipt of weight, performed attractively. Davistock finished in front of Peschiera, over five furlongs run in 1.3 2-5. Attentive and March Alone showed to advantage over Chief Line in a gallop over seven furlongs compassed in 1.31. The first part was run at a fast clip. The foregoing gallops were executed on the plough, which was in fast order. This morning most- of the work was performed, on the outside of the course proper. Aga. Tv liaiV was given light work on flic insiuU. He is a- very fit horse at present and will attract attention at the meeting. The maiden Icier went pleasingly with Green Linnet over five furlongs on the outside in 1.5). Attentive. March Alone and Chief Line worked in ■noninnction over a mile on f lip outside- in 1.53. The three are well and should be interesting competitors. Shillong sprinted three furlongs in i 39s ec.

Tentenll was allotted a working gallop over a. round and she finished well. The Inirdlens. Tonaere, Calamine and Marjoram, galloped a. mile on the plough. Tonaere had tlhe best of the weights and. making the pace, finished m front of Calamine with Marjoram well back in I .I6\Calamine is unlikely to start in the hurdle race -on the first day. W. Bowden will be on Tonaere in the Oh awe Hurdles.
