Korokio has shown plenty of pace «nd the fact that she is well forward is going to be a good deal in her favour. However, there aro others with speed also, hnd tho issuo is very open. Tho favourites may be KOROKIO, CURIE. ECILA. 12.40—GONVILLE HURDLES, Of £2OO- about 1 mile 5 fur. st. lb. st. lb. Jifukumai ... 11 4 Luminary ... 9 12 Avro 11 .4 Opa 9 2 Royal Acre . . 10 5 Limosa .... 90 Make Up ... 10 1 Tall Timber . 9 0 At least, five of tho candidates appear to possess chances. Form points to Royal Aero, Make Up and Avro being vory dangerous, and Nukumai may also be expected to improve on his first day's running. Luminary, who was schooled this morning, must also be respected, as he is very well. Horses who may be solidly supported aro LUMINARY, ROYAL ACRE, NUKUMAI. 1.20 —SPRING HACK HANDICAP, Of £2OO- 6 fur. et. lb. st. lb.

With an array of speedy beginners in the Held, post positions may be an important factor, although there is a good run out from the iix furlong post. Autopay Beems certain to run well, while Pomp, Taranto, Huntingdon a;jd Zarene are. others who should make bold showings. Popular fancies may be

AUTOPAY, HUNTINGDON, POMP. 2.0-N.Z. eclipse stakes, Of £IOO, about 7 fur. st.. lb. at. lb. Vertigern ... 9 3 Arisus .... 7 12 Laugh's Prince 9 3 Siniba V 12 Toxeuma ..90 Lady Pam ..77 There is a small but select field. Toxeuma and Laughing Prince look like being too jood for the three-year-olds Siinba, Arisus and Lady Pam and Vertigern is scarcely class enough to win a race of this description. It is certain that Toxeuma and Laughing Prince will carry the bulk of the investments, and the actual favourite may be TOXEUMA. 2.4O—TRIAL HANDICAP, Of £200; about 7 fur. st. lb. st. lb. llonalof ... 8 10 Paratoo .... 7 10 Vandyke . » . 8 7 Arrowzono ..77 litmminfc , » . 8 5 Miss Hastings 7 5 Arisaa . « » . 8 1 Prince Desmond 7 5 Acmil . . ■ ■ » 7 13 Danny Boy ..75 Ganpat . • . . 7 13 Laconic ... 7 6 Clony 712 Lady Spear . 7 5 I/ittlo Wonder 712 Guerester ..75 ilayson . . 710 Cessation . 7 5 'Tentcall .... 7 10 Pandia ... 7 5 On form Imamint, Arisus and Vandyke ihonld account for most of the others, but Ih«y may ineet with strong opposition from Improvers like Paratoo nnd Laconic.
