meeting ends to-day PLATE HANDICAP FIELD JIDNGATOON FANCIED REVIEW OF PROSFFXTS The Thames Jockey Club's meeting will be concluded at Parawai to-dav, when the chief races will be the Thames Plate and the President's Handicap. As on the first day, many of tbo acceptors have more than one engagement and it is probable that the fields may cgain he reduced by scratching.

Folowing are the fields, with a review of tho prospects in each race by " Archer ":—

Ivurapae did not start, on Thursday and is a newcomer who may be very troublesome. Tuaheahe. Aubretia and Royal Secret are all possibilities and a likely improver is Prince Acre, who displayed a lot of speed on the first day, when he covered a fair amount of ground. Popular fancies may be RECORD FLIGHT, KURAPAE, PRINCE ACRE. 12.35—HIKUTAIA STAKES, Of £7O; for two-year-olds; 5 fur. / st. lb. st. lb. King Brierly'. 8 9 Ling Moy ..75 Daywind ... 7 7 Gay Athlone . 7 0 '• Form on the first day points to King Brierly again beating Ling Moy and Gay Athlone in spite of his rise of 91b, as he is a solid customer who should be none the worse for his raco Day Wind did not start on Thursday, but he is a winner and showed a lot. of speed in one of his races at Ellerslie, so that he may seriously trouble the topweight. Investors are likely to favour KING BRIERLY. DAY. WIND. I.2O—THAMES PLATE, Of £110: 1 mile 1 fur. et. lb. et. lb.

Mungatoon can be relied upon for a soli/1 effort, and under the altered weights he may turn the tables on Trishna. who defeated him narrowly on Thursday. Chief Cook, Whakapara and King's Archer nil raced well enough on Thursday to be given chances and the best of the others may be Limex. It should be a solid betting race and investors may show a preference for

MUNGATOON. WHAKAPARA, CHIEF COOK. 2.S—TURUA HANDICAP, Of £lio. 6 fur. / st. lb. st. lb.

Chief Clerk is n likely improver and Solomon is a newcomer who may make his presence felt. There are a number of other possibilities, including Record Flight. Lapstone and Val Watch. The favourites may be SOLOMON, BONNY GAY, -CHIEF CLERK. . . 2.SS—PRESIDENT'S HANDICAP, Of £80: G fur. st. lb. st. lb. British Hampton Park 7 5 Columbia ..87 Whakapara ..71 Karangapai ..85 King Mestor . 7 1 Chief Cook y. 8 3 Werata .... 7 0 Mungatoon . .' 713 Tin Lap .... 7 0 Lime-:- .... 711 Glenromney . 7 0 Marechal ... 7 11

King Mestor has four engagements, but if reserved race lie may take a lot of beating with his light weight. Marechal and Limex should again run good races and others who may enter into calculations are Hampton Park, Whakapara and British Columbia. Owirid to most of the horses having more than one engagement, it is probable that, the field. will be reduced. Soma who may be well supported are KING MESTOR. KARANGAPAI. /HAMPTON PARK.

IMO—COUNfY HIGH-WEIGHT HANDICAP, Ol £GS; 1 mile 1 fur. / st. lb. at. lb Cruachan ... 11 4 Boxy . . . , < 9 2 Last Lap ... 10 6 Unoco 0 1 Biform ..... 011 Clan Ronald .90 Loombinafion 911 On Approval . 9 0 Don't Lap . 911 Master Mv.sk . 9 0 Free Air ... 9 9 Cordon . 9 0 Searcher ... 9 2

Last Lap won very decisively on Thursday. and. although lie has a rise of lllb., is again likely to race prominently, as he is very fit at present. Cruachan should run another solid race and slight imnrovement is possible from Loombination, who scarcely did as well as anticipated on the first day. "Unoco is a newcomer who may be veri* dangerous and the likeliest, of the others may bo Don't Lap and Searcher. Horsep vlio may find favour are LOOMBINATION. DON'T LAP, UNOCO. 4.25 —NGATEA HACK HANDICAP, of-£GS and sweepstake of £2, 1 mile st. lb. st. lb.

Royal Gallant is a newcomer who has run some creditable races lately and may prove one of the hardest to beat. Wee Musk was not well handled on tfe first day and may do better on this occasion, while Roxy, Val Watch, Vliief Clerk, Solomon and Kurapae are all ligh'veight possibilities Good support may fiiven to
