MANAWATU R.C. AUTUMN MEETING. OPENS AT AWAPUNI TO-DAY. Awapuni's autumn gathering has the advantage of the individual attention of the district and with the well represented fields in action to-day, there should be an attendance from a wide area. Fine weather only is requisite to make the fixture a sporting success. ...KAREBE HURDLES, of 250 sovs.If miles (Noon). Red Fuchsia’ll 13 Vexatious 018 Novar 11 0 Royal Acre 0 3 Brig. Bill 10 8 Bed Bank 9 3 Diana's Panorama 9 3 Lad 10 1 Hymestrason 9 0 Gala Day 911 Vivo 9 0 Braeman has been scratched from the original list and Novar, which is said to have got into a fence on Monday night, is a doubtful starrer. This yuts Red Fuchsia well ahead of thi others in the matter of poundage, but as he is a newcomer to the although his private reputation for judging is excellent, punters may be inclined to dig further down in a prospect. He will lose nothing on the score of horsemanship. The Quin Abbey gelding, Gala Day, will have heavy sup port. One that may create a surprisq however, is Vivo, which beat the other at a difference of 51bs. in the Second Highweight at Trentham and is a fully qualified jumper. Vexatious is dangerous when right, Royal Acre* and Red Bank have proved themselves in the same class this season and Diana’s Lad is entitled to more than passing notice. The three that strike one most are: GALA DAY, VIVO and Diana’s Lad

There are not a few bad horses here and some unlucky ones. In the latter, Category, Kilorell is entitled to be ineluded. Bon Acre is another that might shortly show form, while Mothplane, Vinella and Grattan might do well. The three that appeal are: Mothplane and Grattan. PRINCE OF WALES HANDICAP, of

Bright Giow, after her close seeona in the Thompson Handicap at Trentham, when she nearly-got to Paganelli, will be a big fancy for the Prince .of Wales Handicap. In the Shade was not produced at Trentham, but his appearance here will be fraught with possibilities. Blimp is one to which the public will have a decided lean. Ruanui and Tidal were third and fourth respectively behind Toxeuma in the Hutt Handicap on Monday and both will appreciate the lighter scale of weights. The Avondale horse in pan ticular seems susceptible to improvement, so he is included in the list: BRIGHT GLOW, Blimp, Tidal.

AWAPUNI GOLD CUP, of GOO sovs.; If miles (3.35 p.m.) Ccmmcn- Laughing

With Reremoana and Red Heckle absent, the of possible starters in the Awapuni Gold Cup has been narrowed down to eight, while Bright Glow claims an earlier engagement. Commendation won this event as a three-year-old in 1927, but it is questionable whether he is a 121bs. better horse to-day. The Trentham Gold Cup winner, Rapier, makes the strongest appeal, and Night March also has strong claims. Pegawav was a good third in the Thompson Handicap, but failed in the Autumn Handicap under 9.G. The two that stand out in the writer’s opinion are: RAPIER, NIGHT MARCH.

Cimabuo has full title to his impost in the Telegraph Handicap, but he will have to give nothing away to beat this smart field. The Raider has strong claims on the 5.4 scale. Silver Paper and Kcddar have been scratched. Royal Duke is a stable companion of the topweight and among the light-weights, has claims to attention. Lysandcr was third in the Suburban Handicap on Monday. Dobbin is another that should go well, but one returns to THE RAIDER, Cimabue and Ly-

Aniong the hacks, BRIAR ROOT reads well with 8.11. Atholspear and Disrank are two others that will have to bo considered and this trio will keep the opposition busy. NEW ZEALANDERS IN SYDNEY. CATKIN’S CHANCE FOR CUP. United Press Association —By Electril Telegraph—Copyright. Received Tuesday, 10 p.m. SYDNEY, March 19. The prominent racehorse owners Messrs Sampson, Toxward, Knight, McDonald, Tutterell and Greenslade with the brilliant horse Honour arrived by the Maunganui to-day. On the Randwick tracks to-day the New Zealand horse Catkin covered seven furlongs in 1.30 J, being the best of to-day’s gallops. Mr Toxward, the owner, expresses the opinion that Catkin will have a good chance of winning the Sydney Cup if the going is heavy. Weights for the Steeplechase at Randwick on Eastern Monday were

issued to-day. The New Zealand horse Tuki has been awarded 11.8. , Scratchings for the A.J.C. autumn meeting for all engagements include The Hawk ami Merry Mint. WAIRARAPA HANDICAPS.
