Unless further rain falls tho track should be in reasonably good order, oven if a trifle . dead.

Zanzibar is meeting Moko Girl and Tiwha on better terms and may reverse positions. Bessie Parrish is a newcomer, and her prospects will be governed by the state of tho track. The favourites may be ZANZIBAR, TTWHA, MOKO GIRL. 12.45—HQWICK HANDICAP, Of £losl' limit 3.40; 1} miles. Maida .... Lt. Star Pronto . ■. Lt. Jester . . . . Lt. Worthy Cause . Lt. Francis Lincoln Lt. yds bhd Gold Seam . . Lt. Free Logan . . 12 Stormy Mack . Lt. Pegaway ... 24 Dolly Thorpe . Lt. Eleawah . . . 3(5 Our Mac . . . Lt. Prince Etawah . 36 Worthy Cause, who ran a fine race for . «cond in the Waiheke Handicap on Monday, is the pick of the limit division, but may experience trouble from Dolly Thorpe, who showed promising form at Hamilton in December. Mazde, Stormy Mack and Our Mac have outside chances, but Free Logan ar.d Pegaway, in spite of their failure on the first day. will be in favour. Prince Et.awnh cannot be left out of calculations. Investors may prefer FREE LOGAN. PEGAWAY, WORTHY CAUSE. I.3S.—MACKENZIE HANDICAP, Of £300; limit 4.32; 2 miles. Enaw.-.h . J . Lt,. yds bhd Gold Dial . . . Lt. Auto Machine . 60 Impromptu . . Lt. Mountain Dell . 60 yds bhd The Abbey . . 60 Gold Treasure . 12 On a dry track Impromptu would take a rower of beating, but if the turf is soft nis prospects will be discounted. Gold Dial, after a bod beginning on Monday, finished well and may create a surprise. Enawah should be improved with the race and Gold Treasure is likely to cause trouble if he goe= correctly. Auto Machine. The Abbey and Mountain Dell filled the places in the Otahuhu Handicap, and, in spite of 24yds. penalty, the first-named will again be difficult to dispose of. Those in most demand may be AUTO MACHINE, THE ABBEY. MOUNTAIN DELL.

2.2S.—SYLVIA PARK HANDICAP. Of £123: limit 3.29; lj miles. Bell Dial . . . Lt. yds bhd Some Dillon . Lt. Bingen Crest . 48 Key de Quest . Lt. Glandore ... 48 yds bhd 'Master Hui:t . . 48 Travis .... 12 Nella Dillon . . UO Dad's Hope . . 24 i Of the limit trio Rey de Quest may find most support, but. Bell Dial holds reasonable prospects. Travis ran a sound race oil Monday and should be benefited by the outing. while Dad's Hope, who was a trifle unlucky, may do better. Bingen Crest reads--tlie best of those further back. although Glandore cannot be left, out of calculations. Investors may show a preference for TRAVIS. DAD'S HOPE. BINGEN CREST. 3.IO.—RICHMOND HANDICAP, Of £lls;' limit 3.34; H miles. Eleawah . . . Lt. yds bhd Jersey Thorpe . Lt. Derby Vale . .12 Myrtlene . . . Lt. Gumdigger . . 12 Mar. "Wallace . Lt. Great Fume . . 12 Nathaniel . . . Lt. Modern Light . 24 Realty .... Lt. Prince Pedro . 48 Typist .... Lt. Kaydus .... 48 Myrtlene and Typist hold best prospects from the front line, but Nathaniel may trouble them. Gumdigger did not get a good run on Monday and may do better to-day. Great Fame requires to move away smartly to have a chance. On her first daj's form Modern Light looks like beating a'l in front of her. but may encounter solid opposition from Prince Pedro and Eaydus. The order of favouritism may be . PRINCE PEDRO. Modern light, GUMDIGGER. 3.SS—RANGITOTO HANDICAP, Of £135; trotters; limit 4.14; 2 miles. Explosion . . . Lt. yds bhd yds bhd Kdlmar .... (50 Valloden ... 12 Paradigm . . . 9G Royal Triumph . 24 Explosion replaces Roi Grande, otherwise the field is the same a3 on Monday. Explosion does not appeal and Koyal Triumph looks to hold Vnlloden safe. Kolraar and Paradigm will make the race interesting and the latter's solidness will give him a frood chance. Those in mo3t demand may PARADIGM, ROYAL TRIUMPH. 4.4O.—FORBES HANDICAP, Of £150; limit 2.49; li miles. Dad's Hope . . Lt. yds bhd Glandore . . . Lt. Great Parrish . 24 Master Huia . . Lt.

Kewpie'/S Triumph, Kewpie's Guy and Te "Wahia filled the places in the Moss Davis Handicap on Monday and should again race prominently. Dan Direct and First l-'light may go better than on the first day, " n " Kella Dillon is a possibility. A fresh horse is Great Parrish. but the stable may rely on Kev.pie's Guy. Great Ballin must bo respected. In a good pool the chief fancies day be GREAT H PARRISH-KEWPIE'S GUY BR ACK KT, KEWPIE'S TIUUMPH. S.2S.—FAREWELL HANDICAP, Of £115; saddle; limit 2.19; 1 mile.

Rofle Audubon and Raydus are fresh runners, and if at his best Nathaniel take a lot of beating off the front. RavHus displayed fine speed in his race on Monday and may run out a sounder nine than Poi. Oliver Thorpe should again so Weil, but Gaza and Our Peter read better at the handicap. Opinions will be well divided, but there may be a preference for KAYDUS. OUR I'ETEi;, GAZA. WOODVILLE PROSPECTS.
