HAWKE’S BAY MEETING

AUTUMN FIXTURE TO=MORROW EXCELLENT ’FIELDS ENGAGED ; pEVIEW 01* PEOSPECTS(By “Childers.”) The autumn meeting of the Hawke’s Bay Jockey Club will be held to-mor-r.owJl Splendid fields are engaged in the various events and the standard of racing should be high. 1.0 • i MAIDEN: HANDICAP. Of £OO. Five furlonus and a-half.

Royal Feast has run several good races of late and must be. hard to beat if started. Father's Choice was in a place at Napier Park. Peggy Defoe appears to be a cut above the average. She has had several placed performances Of late and has been rather unlucky ,not to win a race. First Chapter is regarded as. a . promising sort. The , elect of bettors may be PEGGY DEFOE. ROYAL FEAST > and FIRST CHAPTER. 1.40 :: ' :."V % ■ I . TE MAHANGA - HIGH WEIGHT. Of £7O. Nine furlongs.

Purse 9 5 S.unuy.Spng .is a. decidedly smart galloper and provided: site has. thrown off the sofbuess which.affected-her at Awapiini ‘is sure to go well. -Gold. Stitch has been in a place in live of its last sevenstarts, ’ but the recent form of Swift and Sure and Flamingo has been poor. Tres &cc is working well and appears to be approaching his bdst again. Purse looks to be the best of the remainder. The favourites • may be- TRES SEC, SUNNY- SONG and GOLD STITCH, 2.2 U— ' . / ' '' i: ' ] UONGATK I JACK HANDICAP.. : .OL* :£7o. 'Six'i'ufloiigs, • ; ■■

stowing excollest form,.’of late, but Sunny -Maid has been 1 disappointing. Hunting Star was a -classy hack last season,; but has- no recent form ■ nor have Asterisca and Hatuina. Maine is a -useful sort, while Passion Flower has won her last two starts. Abbey Fealo appears nicely placed here and so docs Queen’s Pride, -who was amlueky at Napier Park a fortnight ago. Three in demand may be* 'WAR VANE,

QUEEN’S PE IDE an d HUNTING STAR. 3.0 RIVERSLEA JUVENILE HANDICAP. Of £7Q. Five furlongs.

II Duce ran a-fine second to. Severe at. Awapuui and as he will be bracketed with Happy Landing, who also showed promise at Awapuui, the public will have little difficulty in finding a favourite. Blue Garter is a consistent sort, while big things are expected of the well-bred Plato. None of the others have form to recommend them. The favourites should be the HAPPY LANDING-IL DUCE bracket, PLATO and BLUE GARTER. 3.40 — -" : HASTINGS HACK CUP HANDICAP. Of £IOO. One mile and a-quarter.

Big Dook has been showing fine form in open company at East Coast meetings, but 'Weroliia lias done little of late. Marching Song and Confiscation both ran well at A wap uni, while Shirred Ribbon has run two firsts and. a third in his last three starts. Royal Dash should hold both Lady Wessex and Blygain safe. Three who appeal are SHIRRED RIBBON, BIG DOOK and CONFISCATION. 4.20 WAITANGI NOVICE HANDICAP. Of £6O. Six furlongs.

The Grasper S 2 Silver Song and Contact arc both useful sorts, the latter running fairly well in a strong hack field at-Awapunv. Grecnoro lias started only once to win handsomely. The Grasper won well at Wairoa. last month. Bonnie Song looks handily weighted for she won both of her last tvf> starts fairly easily. Peggy Defoe has been 5u a place in every one of her last six starts. The best backed may be GREENORE, PEGGY DEFOE and BONNIE SONG. 5.0 SHEBENDEN FLYING HANDICAP. Of £BO. Six furlongs and a-half.

If anywhere near fit Curie will be. hard to beat, while Cuddle •cannot be j left out of calculations. Souchong may be troubled by that extra half furlong. Speed and Cyclonic are a useful pair who .should run out this distance well.; Good Hunting has been doing well on; the East Coast, where Hunting Day! also has been racing prominently. Mata j Hari was impressive at Awapuni. Bet ! tors may select MATA HABI, SPEED and CURIE.
