TO-DAY'S RACES.

FIELDS AT taubanga. PROSPECTS IN THE CUP. ALLOY AND TE MONEY. GANPAT'S SPRINT CHANCE. TVith many of the acceptors claiming more than one engagement and others unlikely to ho at tho .meeting, ifc is highly probable that the fields afc the Bay of Plenty Facing Chili's annual fixture at Tauranga to-rlav will he small. However, there should be sufficient runners in the various events to provide an interesting day's sport. Following are the details of the fields with a review of Ihe prospects in each tacc by "Archer 11.50 —TRIAL PLATE HANDICAP, Of £00; 5 fur. st. lb. Bt. lb fitar Lap ..90 Intnglio ...85 Dark Marble SlO Tralee .... 8 5 Jfomonatui . 8 6 Black Jacket 8 5 Royal Menu . 8 5 Lady Rata ..82 Silver-Division 8 5< l Tho class is not strong, and if Dark Jlarble reproduces the form bo revealed in better, company nt Te Arolia be should have rosy prospects. Dark Marble's most serious opposition should come from Star Lap, and (he best of the others- should be Royal Menu and Momonatui. Investors may follow form and give most support to DARK MARBLE. STAR LAP. ROYAL MENU. t2,35-BROWN MEMORIAL HANDICAP, Of £3O; 6 fur. st. lb. Bt. lb. Buby Dawn ..90 Marshland . . 7 11 TVce Prince . 8 4 Laptown ... 7 9 Tarcha ... 8 3 London .*.79 Searcher ... 8 3 Silene .... 7 5 Arch Eagle . 8 3 Illuminelli ..70 Koyal Gallant 712 Transaction . 7 0 Kiritahanga . 711 After his pood third at Pukekohe last week. Royal Gallant looks to have an excellent chance here and what beats him should win. Ruby Dawn has beeTi racing consistently and will have to be seriously considered, whil> others worthy of some respect are Tarcha, Searcher, Arch Eagle. Marshland and Laptown. It should be a Tery interesting contest, and in a good pool the -main fancies should include ROYAL GALLANT, RUBY DAWN, SEARCHER

I.2O—TAURANGA CUP HANDICAP, Of £150; 1» miles. et. lb. at. lb. Paganelli . . 912 Llanore ... 7 3 Alloy .... 8 1 Te Money ..73 Flying Trince 713 Hit the Deck 7 3 Cbromadyne . 7 12 It is probable that this will be a onedividend field, as Ghromadyno is not to run and it is doubtful whether A. Tinker will start both Flying Prince and Hit the Deck. Paganelli should run a good race, but he may have enough weight to steady him and at the difference in weights he may be troubled to beat Alloy and Te Money, who should rim the distance very solidly w.ith the weights they have to carry. I'lying Prince will make a good showing unless ihe track is very firm, while Llanore snd Hit the Deck are distinct possibilities. Horses likely to be well supported are ALLOY. TE MONEY. LLANORE. 2,S—HERRIES MEMORIAL HACK CUP HANDICAP, Of £00; 1 mile. st. lb. et. 11). Simeon ... 9 3 Free Air ..70 Y.'ee Pripce .85 Yal. Knight . 7 0 Limes .... 8 4 Tohu lvingi .70 "Welcome S 4 Transaction .70 High Commis. 7 0 Last year's winner, "Welcomo Boy, should igain possess an excellent chance, as he is partial to the course and is now very fit. Simeon and Wee Prince should not be disgraced, but they do not appeal as much 2S Limex, an improving filly, who will be suited by the fact that the field will rot be too large. High Commissioner and Free Air are likely improvers, but the form of ♦V,e others does not Eay a great deal for thair chances. The prime fancies may be LIMES, "WELCOME BOV. HIGH COMMISSIONER. 2,50 -CREERTON HANDICAP, Of £.10; "7 fur. Ft. lb. "I- lb - Flying Prince 9 0 Hit the Deck 8 2 Royal Ruler .90 Holly Hplra • 7 12 Llcnore ... 8 4 Pennyplain . . 7 - Valueless ... 8 2 This may be ■ a small field as several of the candidates have other engagements. Whichever A. Tinker starts of t lying Prince snd Hit the Deck should be difficult to beat and his elect is likely to be well fancied. Royal Ruler, who left Avondale with Tea Chat on Thursday, should possess good prospects in the class, and it is quite on the cards that Llanore and Holly Holm will also run good races. Solid support may be eiven to LOYAL RULER. HIT THE DECK. HOLLY HOLM. 3.3S—PRESIDENT'S HACK HANDICAP, | Of £9O: 6 fur. et. lb. st. lb. | Hit the Deck 9 3 Kiritahanga . 711 Rnby Dawn .90 London . . • 7 J Holly Holm . 8 13 Star of the Last 7 9 Hiata .... 811 Lap town ... 7 J j "Welcome Boy 8 4 Vnlreina . . . * j Pennyplain . 8 3 Miss Aibyn . 1 Tarcha .... 8 3 Silene . . . • 7 ° Royal Gallant 713 Illuminelh . . 7 u Marshland . 711 Free Air . . 7 o Bracket: Pennyplain and Tarcha. Form in the previous events should give a good line on tho prospects in this race. S3 most of the candidates will probably have started previously. It is more than likely that there will be §ome defections from this field of eighteen, but unless form in tho earlier race 3 brings other horses into pio Winence tho favourites may lie
