MEETING OPENS TO-DAY. REVIEW OF PROGRAMME. THE JEIjLICOE HANDICAP. / CHANCES OF GREAT PETER. Thn Auckland Trotting Club's November Meeting will be opened at Alexandra Park to-day. The programme is an attractive one and, although tho fields arc practically confined to local and provincial . horses, the racing should provide plenty of interest. Tho following is tho list of horses engaged, with a review of the prospects in each race by " Abaydos":— 12.0-WAITEMATA HANDICAP, Of £2OO. limit, 3.43; 11 miles. 'All Special . . Lt. Yds. bhd.

CO Pnrrish Bello 12 Marble Star . . 81 The three on the limit appear to be held cuTely by those on tho next line, who include Royal Triumph, Windchat. Ben BinKen and Parrish Belle. Royal Triumph's recent performances entitle him to great respect. Tho best of the others may be Lord Haldane, Marble Star and Nelson Girl. The chief fancies will probably bo ROYAL TRIUMPH, PARRISH BELLE. 12.45—IMPROVERS' HANDICAP, Of £200: limit. 3.34: 1J miles. A 1 John .... Lt. Yds. bhd. Carnui Lt. Rolfe Audubon . 12 Great Fame . . .

Pavlova .... 24 Moko Chief . . Lt. Gold Sovereign 36 Whakahihi . . . Lt. Scandal .... GO "Windshield . . . Lt. Ten horses figure on the limit, but most of tho novices are giving away a good handicap to come in. Lady Yvonne, if she went right, would be tho best of this contingent, although Carnui is en the imrrove. Rolfe Audubon, on the next line, should account for Silver Link and Zealous, but First Flight, Kewpie's Guy. Dad's Hope and Pavlova are all handily placed. Tho favourites may bo , KEWPIE'S GUY. FIRST FLIGHT. ROLFE AUDUBON. I.3O—JELLICOE HANDICAP, Of £600: limit, 4.33: 2 miles. Hal Chimes . . Lt. Yds. bhd Yds. bhd. Great Peter . . 36 Great Delight . 12 Mountain Dell . 36 Rockburn ... 12 Sunshower ... 60 "Warplane ... 12 Machine Gun . . 96 Logan's Pride . 24 This is a useful field. From the limit Hal Chimea should keep those behind him busy, but Rockburn may require a race. Logan's Pride looks the best prospect of those on 12yds. On the next mark aro Great and Mountain Dell. On a firm track Great Peter might beat the mare, whilo oh a holding turf Mountain Dell will bo preferred. Sunshower should so well, but Machine Gun may not ha ready. Tho best lupported may be GREAT PETER, MOUNTAIN DELL. HAL CHIMES. 2*IS—PARN ELL HANDICAP, '• I", 'I Of £250; limit. 3.29; 1* miles. Dan Direct . » . Lt. Yd 3. bhd. Little Guy ; Lt.

Great Balliu . . 24 Dealer . . Y 12 Nclla Dillon . . 21 Glandore . 12 • This event presents a difficult problem, as it least half of the candidates appear to halve good chances. "Of! tho limit Little Guy, Dan Direct, Nolson Dillon and Some Dillon should claim respect, whilo Dealer, Gold Treasure, Mignonne and Benefice aro capable of a good effort off 12yds. Of the others Arachno reads best, and, if conditions aro favourable, she will bo difficult to beat. Investors may favour ARACHNE, NELSON DILLON, MIGNONNE. 3.O—MOUNTAIN HANDICAP, Of £300; limit, 4.45; 2 miles. Anicline .... Lt. ' Yds, bhd. / I Yds. bhd. Etta Cole . . 60 Lin. tho Great 12 Gold Sovereign . 72 Paradise . . 48 Tiger Salve . 103 Sehisca .... 60 Although there are only seven horses encaged the issue is open. Auaeline, off tho limit, will take catching, whilo Linnett the Great looka like being dangerous off 12yds. Paradigm's consistency should gain him respect, while on a heavy track Sehisca would be fancied. Etta Colo- will run an honesl race,' and Gold Sovereign is on a handy mark. Popular selections may be "LINNETT THE GREAT, ETTA COLE. 3,4S—NOVEMBER HANDICAP, Of £ 300; limit. 2.15: 1 mile. Brutus . - • Lt. Yds. bhd. Goldman .... Lt. Daytime Master Huia . . Lt. Firpo . . .12 Nslla Dillon . . Lt. Gold Dial ... . 12 Queen Elzabeth Lt. Belle Axworthy 21 Stanmoor 43 Half the field is on the limit. On track form Queen Elizabeth and Goldman aio entitled to consideration, while Master Hnia, if ready, should run a merry mile. Daytime and Firpo may need racing, but Belle Axworthy may beat them all if tho track is dry. Stanmoor should also run a solid race. The favourites may be BELLE AXWORTHY, QUEEN ELIZABETH. GOLDMAN. 4.3O—STEWARDS' HANDICAP, Of £300; limit. 4.38; 2 miles. Yds. bhd. Yds. bhd. Stone* . 12 To Wahia . . 36 | Explosion ... 24 Trustworthy . 36 ! Gang A v.-a' ... 24 Gold Dial 43 i W'uspite . . 24 This field is not strong numerically, but j tho class is very even and the issue is open. Stoney may create a surprise, but Explosion looks a better proposition. C»an Awa', Warspite and Te Wahia v/ill have friends, ano Trustworthy's form suggests possibilities. Gold Dial may start in the preceding rare. Most support may bo accorded EXPLOSION, TRUSTWORTHY. S.IS—ELECTRIC HANDICAP, Of £300; limit. 2.48; li miles. Gold Dial . . . Lt. bhd. "Woodvale . . . Lt.
