MARTON’S ONE-DAY FIXTURE.

PROMISES INTERESTING SPORT.

THE FIELDS REVIEWED

(By “ Silken Rein. ”)

Quite an interesting list of acceptances have been received for the Marton meeting to-morrow. The class of horses engaged is in keeping with the importance of the fixture and is sufficient to hold out promise of a good day’s sport. Racing will commence at 12.15 p.m. and the programme is as follows: HACK HURDLES, of 100 sovs.; 14 miles. Easterly 11 5 Tunbridge 10 0 Royal The Warden 9 8 Damon 11 3 Kopje 9 4 Callamart 10 8 Princess Birkbeck 10 7 Elizabeth 9 0 Cashier 10 3 Star Girl 9 0 Goldlike 10 2 War Zone 9 0 Birkbeck should be the winner in this field on form, but at this period of the year, surprises are likely to result. Cashier would only need to jump well to be in the money and Goldlike, Easterly, Royal Damon, Callamart and Tunbridge have winning form in this class. Princess Elizabeth raced well at Trentham, finishing fourth. The favourites may be Birkbeck Goldlike. DASH HACK HANDICAP, of 100 sovs.; 6 furlongs. Knollmere 9 0 Valueless 7 5 Manfesto 8 6 Derry Belle 7 2 Wallaruh 8 6 Hiuewai 7 2 False Scent 712 Thrasher 7 0 Chief Savage 7 5 Kinsem g. 7 0 Knollmere and Wallaruh are the recent winners and on form it is hard to go past them. The Leighton-Kinsem filly, which has ueen named Happy Hit, comes from a speedy family, and she may surprise, but backers will probably leave it to Knollmere Wallaruh. WINTER HACK HANDICAP, of 100 sovs.; 1 mile and 132 yards. Grand Jury 9 3 Merry Glen Rossie 8 2 Melody 710 Malahat 8 1 Arrowhead 710 Spearform 711 Jayson 7 8 Aur, Borealis 710 King Hal 7 0 Grand Jury’s form at Feilding Easter fixture will probably make him favourite in this race. Glen Rossie, if started, will also claim attention, while there will also be support for Malahat and Spearford. The best pair may be Grand Jury Malahat. CROFTON HANDICAP, of 150 sovs.; li miles. Black Duke 9 4 Just An Idea 7 5 Merry Paiko 7 4 Damon 813 Avro 7 4 Chopin 8 3 Mt. Shannon 7 0 Pahu 712 Jayson 7 0 The principal race is fairly open, though the machine favourite will probably be Chopin. Black Duke will find conditions to his liking and Pahu is the improver, that will have to be respected. Merry Damon and Mount Shannon are possibilities, though there is a decided preference for Chopin. Pahu. WELTER HACK, of 100 sovs.; 7 furlongs. Knollmere 910 Gaswyn 8 2 Glenrossie 9 3 Manuiri 8 2 Saltpot 9 0 Cook 8 2 Nightmare 810 Prime Arrowhead 8 9 Moutoa 8 0 Blacksmith 8 7 Takahui 8 0 Valueless 8 4 Knollmere, Glen Rossie, Saltpot and |Nightmar e have strong claims for support in this event, but the former may prefer the earlier engagement. A likely one to effect a surprise is Takahue but to win lip will have to beat Nightmare Saltpot. FLYING HANDICAP, of 130 sovs.; 6 furlongs. Blue Paper 8 8 Gold Cure 712 Royal Briar Root 7 7 Songster 8 3 Juggle 7 5 Keddar 8 0 With Gold Cure and Juggle running as bracket, this event will be a onedividend affair. Backers will not be able to see past Blue Paper. FAREWELL HANDICAP, of 100 sovs.; 5 furlongs. Manifesto 9 0 Derry Belle 710 Leisure 813 Night Zarene 8 12 - Speaker 7 6 False Scent 8 6 Dick WhitSptg.
