MANAWATU CLUB. TO.MORROW’S FIXTURE. GOOD RACING ASSURED. (I3y “Spectator.”) The Manawatu Racing Club’s winter meeting- will be held at Awapuni to-mor-row and, with fine fields engaged, a successful meeting is assured. The committee of' tlio club have speeded up tlio ro-roof-ing of the stands, with other alterations for the comfort of their patrons, arid these are now finished and will bo appreciated. Tlio first race is timed to start at 11.30 and a, review of the fields and tlio programme follow : 11.SOLA DIES’ BRACELET HANDICAP, of £6O. Gentlemen riders. One mile and a quarter. Oriel 11 13 Night Santoft 11 11 Runner 10 7 King Thomond 11 9 Cordon 10 7 Bacchus Marsh 10 9 Ngaitahu 10 7 Air Force 10 7 Sangay 10 7 Patinos 10 7 Browned 10 7 Proceedings will commence with the Ladies’ Bracelet, in which Oriel should show up as his race at Marton would do him a lot of, good. Santoft had a race at Trcntham but was not sightod. He should do better here. King Thomond raced over the fences at Foxton without success. Air Force is due for a win, while the best of the other light weights may be Cordon and Night Runner. The best backed may be; Oriel, Cordon, Santoft. 12.9FLAXBOUHNE HURDLE HANDICAP, of £l5O. One mile and three-quarters. Sail spray 11 1 Prince Reno 9 5 Silk Sox 11 1 Aiguille 9 4 Hunting Jay 10 9 Royal King 9 4 Valpai 10 4 Oriel 9 2 Ethiop 10 3 Sir Ronald 9 0 Limulus 9 10 Sa It spray ami Silk Sox, both winners at Trcntham, should receive plenty of support in the Flaxbourne Hurdle Handicap and they should be prominent at the business end. Hunting Jay had two races at Trcntham. In the first he was troublesome at the post and got left, but in the second lie got away well and was one of the leaders for a good part of the journey, fading out at the finish, lie should be benefited by these outings and must be held in respect. Valpai may not bo ready, but Ethiop should show up if his hurdling has improved. Limulus is a newcomer to the game and interest will centre on her shoving. Prince Reno is very well, while Ah'-uillc ran into the money at Trcntham. Sir lion aid has an outsider’s chance. One will probably take oh the Bracelet. Royal Kill" has not raced well m his recent outings. The public will probably select their favourit from : Bilk Sox, Saltspray, Hunting Jay. 12.45 RANGITANE PLATE, of £7O. Six furlongs. Alloa 9 0 lluenzori 9 0 Aube 9 0 Bon Santo 15 5 Export 9 0 Jovial Prince 8 5 Kit v Quinn 9 0 Malibu 8 5 Patagonia 9 0 May Song a o Ringapoto 9 0 Mazzini 8 b ltioghail 9 0 Mirth 8 o Runvillc 9 0 Aube’s third to Koliika and Great, Hope at the Danncvirko Hunt meeting will ensure his being one ot the fancied candidates. Patagonia had a race at Carterton but failed. Ruaville was favourite for the Novice at Opotiki, but was placed tli .. in a largo hold. Ruenzori is due to show an improvement after running some protnising races. Bou Santo inis been working well in Taranaki, but it is doubtful if 1 e is yet ready. May Song was third at .Marten oil Wednesday and should be all tlio better for the race. Most of the others are an unknown quantity, with the colours up. When the totalisator closes the best supported may be: Ruaville, Aube, May Song. 1.23 MANAWATU HUNT CUP, of £IOO. About two miles and a quarter. Tan Med 11 11 Indiscretion 10 0 Croydon 11 1 Flockliart 10 0 Miss Pan go 10 13 Stroller 10 0 Royal Songster 10 9 Paliiko 10 0 Taura Lad 10 8 W ar Eagle 10 0 The Drone 10 8 Gasrango 10 0 Waitaunalia 10 5 Sir Red 10 0 Given 10 1 A big field is down to contest the Hunt Cup, with Tangled at tlio head of the handicap with 11.11. The Awapuni-trainod chaser has not got a prohibitive weight, and if he does his best lie should be in the lighting line at the finish. The same stable lias Miss Pango, a winner at Marton, engaged, and she is likely to command support. Croydon has not raced since winning at Marton in May. lie then gave a polished exhibition of jumping and may have to be reckoned with. Royal Songster was a winner at Hastings last Saturday, and Taura Lad was successful at Foxton and Otalci. The Drone won on the flat at Hastings last week, while Given was also in tlio money there. Waitaunaha does not seem to be quite ready. The best of the ten-stone division may be Indiscretion, who has pleased Taranaki critics in licr schooling. The favourites may bo: Taura I.ad, Miss Pango, Tangled. 2.2 PALMERSTON NORTH HANDICAP, of £l5O. One mile and a quarter. Dungarvan 9 13 Lapel 8 3 Arctic King 9 0 Mustang 8 0 I’eicr Jackson 8 9 Silver Brier 8 0 West Tor 8 8 Manawatu 8 0 Tile Palmerston North Handicap has drawn Ihe smallest field of the day. Dimgarvan heads the list, but lie is engaged in the Mcßae Handicap later in the day. In whichever race he starts he will carry strong support. Arctic King was second to Maine in the WTiyto Handicap at Wellington, but failed in the Parliamentary Handicap. lie is very well. Peter Jackson has given signs of a return to form, especially at Trentham, where fie met with interference in the Parliamentary Handicap and finished fourth. West Tor has not raced up to expectations of late, but at his best is capable of a good effort. Lapel has a handy weight and may run generously. Mustang found the company too strong at Trentahm, a.nd Silver Brier was second to Rod Rufus at Danncvirke. Manawatu will go out at a long price. Form points to the favourite coming from : Dungarvan (if started), Arctic King, Peter Jackson. 2.4) MfLSON HACK HANDICAP, of £IOO. Six furlongs. Quake 9 1 llaeemosiis 8 0 Happy Hunting 9 1 Cloudy Bay 8 0 Do Trop 8 10 Ruaville 8 0 Fiimesko 8 8 Garter Red 8 0 Kohika 8 6 Ringapoto 8 0 Terry 8 4 Export 8 0 Qjako has raced consistently of late and lias a chance to continue that record. Happy Hunting lias not raced up to ex-

pectations, but I)e Trop’s Trentham form points to her going u sound race. Finnesko may not be up to racing pitch. Kohika. won (ho Maiden at Danncvirke, and ’Terry raced well at Ot.aki for a first and a second, llacemosus is due to improve, while Cloudy Bay worked well at Awapuni on Tuesday. The .Heat of the others may Lie Garter Red. Three that will be in demand are : Dc Trop, Quake, Terry. 3.20 McRAE HANDICAP, of £l3O. Seven furlongs. Dungarvan 10 4 Royal Secret 3 6 Passion Flower 8 13 Mies llushabye 8 5 Midian 8 13 Pukcko 8 5 Round Score 8 11 Snowball 8 3 Jubilee Song 811 Supreme Court 8 0 Full Throttle 810 Host 8 0 Dungarvan, if starlet! in the Mcßae Handicap, will give a good account of himself, despite liis big weight. Passion Flower is in good form, while Midian sliowod up in his last start. Round Score looked on Illy burly side at Awapuni on Tuesday, while Jubilee Song und Full Throttle do not appeal. Royal Secret’s chances will he fancied by some as site was second to Solaria at Opotiki at the beginning of the month. Miss Husliabvo on a heavy track may spring a surprise as she is very well. Pukeko failed at Trentham, but may mako amends. Snowball also found Trentham company too strong, but Supreme Court wen well at Wanganui and with the minimum and a good jockey should lie showing up at the finish. Host has not raced for some time. Three that should bo on demand on the totalisator are : Dungarvan (if started), Passion Flower, Royal Secret. 4,0 BROADWAY HACK HANDICAP, of £l3O. Une mile and one furlong. Taumau 9 0 Muggins 8 1 Wotau 813 Otaura King 8 0 Le Grand 8 13 Warelii 8 0 Tailliglit 8 12 llacemosus 8 0 Middle 8 10 Sunder 8 0 Blue Garter 8 9 Vane 8 0 Umpire 8 9 Princess Maestro 8 8 ■ La Jean 8 0 Santoft 8 2 ’The day’s racing will close with the Broadway Hack Handicap, and Le Grand, if lie would do his best, would be prominent at tlio finish. ’Wotan may be all the better for his racing at Trcntliain. Taumau lias been off tlio scene for some time,- but Tailliglit was a winner at Marton on Wednesday, also Maestro, ami they will have their followers. Blue Garter lias had a series of seconds and is due for a change of luck. Warelii appeals most of (lie others. Backers may favour the chances ol : Tailliglit, Blue Garter, Le Grand.
