Prospects for To-morrow (By “The Barb.”) This meeting will also fie held tomorrow and Saturday. Like nearly all meetings in the Auckland district the fields have filled well. K A R AN G AHA K E H A NDIC AP. Of £100; 5J furlongs. For two-year-olds. Galilee is held in some quarters as the best of her age for this season and at 9.10 she will need to be. Fleetwind has a win to his credit. Triune is racing consistently. Light Comedy opened her account the other day at’ Waikato. The remainder I have not yet won, but Johnnie Walls is ' held to be a promising colt. With ’ backers the favourites may be Triune, Galilee and Fleetwind. HANDICAP HURDLES. Of 1’150; U mile. This field is poor with hardly any form offering at all but the little there is may go to make favourites of Luminary, imperial Prince and Clan Ronald. NETHERTON HACK HANDICAP Oi £.150; 1 mile 100 yards. I’wo winners in King Rev and Eugi . are engaged ami have gone uj> 81bs. and , 51bs. re.-pectively. Barn Dance has been racing well, while Gay Rose was in the I money la*-t- week. King Mestor, lluskie I and Lap Up may prove more interesting I than the balance. Three that may in- | duce patronage on the totalisator are Engi, Cay Rose and King Mestor. OIIINE.MURI CUP. Of .03(11); I) mile and 20 yards. Prince Colossus is getting plenty oi racing. Gay Broney is a recent winner. ; Sinking Fund is consistent, even it he is only in the minor money. King’s Archer is better over a mile. Royal Artist has won one race in about 18 months. First Lap is a possibility, and j maybe Gay Rose will be reserved for this race. Wait and See has not been tried over a distance, nor ha* Grand

Others to have form are Queen Nona, Orac, Whirling and Pola Dance. The mam betting may centre round Orac, Salesman and Queen Nona. st. Patrick’s handicap. Of £2OO ; 6 furlongs. An even lot. Greek Gold is perhaps past his best, but was regarded as unlucky at ins last outmg. Impasto is making bis first appearance since coming back from Syuuey, where tie won two races. Star Artist is a recent winner of two races. Botighal should have been improved with fast Monday s race. Other fair sprinters are Gay Seton (second in the last Railway), Gipsy Moth, Namakia, and Coronis. Three that may appeal most to the speculative are Impasto, Boughal and Gipsy Moth. MAQU IRE STEEI’LECUASE. Of £120; about 2 J miles. Ruby Meteor won in the spring over country. Claremore was in tiie boom, but about three years ago. Golden England is the making of a good crosscountry candidate. Maunga King won this race last year. Luminary, Pennyplain, Slump and En Tour are good sate jumpers. A steeplechase so early in the year is naturally puzzling, but this year’s form points to the best backed being Ruby Meteor, Colden England and Luminary. KOMATA HANDICAP. Of £150; 7 furlongs. Two recent winners are Astarth and Ford Acre, while placegetters of late are Adeline, Ballymoney and Tin Lap, with Miss Lorraine and King Briefly imrirovers.
