GENERAL NOTES.

Ponty has trained cn well at Riccarton since the Easter meeting and although he has the steadier of 9.13 in the Woburn Hack Handicap at Trentliam bo will keep the opposition busy. . Bantry will have a chance to make am. i ids for his failure -at Wanganui through interference. He has 9.9 in the Woburn Hack, but he is just about'at his best now and should not return home ernptylisnded from the meeting. Peter Beckford is being given plenty of road work at Hastings and it is probable that he will take his place in the Inal Stakes on the second day. Wino will have friends in the Stewards Handicap. He is very nearly back to his best form Mid on the minimum he will make the pace a cracker. Silk Sox looks a likely sort in the Vittoria Hack Hurdles. He won well at Wanganui and if he repeats that form should be handy at the finish. . Ethiop created a favourable impression at Wanganui and interest will emtre on his showing at Trenthain. Dollar Bill won a race at Ellerslie and mot with trouble in at least one of his other engagements. He is a real mud lark,” iiid may be seen to advantage in the Stewards’ Handicap. Greak Gold ran well enough at Dunedin to point to bis prospects at Trenthani. Southerners have a good opinion of Halt Note, who is engaged in the sprnt handicaps. . . , Vocal a winner at Wingatui, is engaged in the Te Aro Handicap and though he will meet string opposition from Hunting Queen and Hunting Ma d, he should be°in the limelight at the finish.
