Soloist should be equal to racing prominently in th ia field, while Marechal. Lucky Alice, Hampton Park and King Ford should all go wdl enough to make the contest very interesting. Manawhenua's form on the first dny was too bad to be true, but, if he runs nt' to his track gallops before the meeting ho will be difficult to beat.
