ELLERSLIE CARNIVAL

FINE FIELD IN "EASTER THREE-YEAR-OLDS FANCIED i _____ SINGLE-POOL BETTING SYSTEM With a continuance of yesterday's weather, conditions should be perfect for the opening of the Auckland liacing j Club's Autumn Meeting at Ellerslie today. The course is very fast and this was evidenced by the good times recorded in the final track-work yesterday. Following are details of the fields with a review of the prospects in each race by '"Archer":— i 12.2—GREAT NORTHERN OAKS, Of £4OO, fillies; weight 8.10; li miles Gay Sheila . Coronis Rsst Star Artist Mensande Golden Hair Gay Sheila and Star Artist are to run in the Easter Handicap and their absence will considerably weaken the field. As she has previously won at the distance and has proved herself a really good filly at shorter distances. Gulden Hnir overshadows th* others and her prospects appear very rosy. Melisande and Rust are both improvers! ■ but on form are a long way inferior to Golden Hair. Coronis is also on the up-gi-.ide, but she may be reserved for the • Ec.et: Handicap. The only one seriously supported may be GOLDEN HAIR. 12.42—PRESIDENT'S HANDICAP, Of £350; 1J miles

The topweight. Master Brierly, is well and can be relied upon for a good effort. Sunny Sky is coming back to form and should make a forward showing. King March, Royal Artist and Knight of Australia have raced well lately and should all be very dangerous, especially Knight of Australia, who is just coming to his best. Baroscope is a distinct possibility, although his chance would be more favoured if the ground was soft. Epigram and Prolyxo may be best of the .others, although Desert Star, / Whakap:tra. King's Archer and Gay Broney are all capable of solid performances at the distance. Some who may be well fancied are KXIGHT OF AUSTRALIA. ROYAL ARTIST. KING MARCH.

The topweight. Prince of Orange, may be scarcely ready to win at two miles, but Snow Prince has been working well and should make a good showing. Biform has improved since racing at Paeroa last month and is a solid stayer with an undoubted chance. Mia Stella and Weo Pat should both run good races, and Callrynart should be very dangerous, a-s he has come on a good deal lately and his latest work has been very encouraging. Simeon is another who should go well, and Thespis will also tsk? heating if he jumps with the same confidence as he has been doing in his schooling. Recent form does not say much for the chances of Solanio. Carlaris and Golden Wedding, and favouritism may rest with

CALLAMAKT, BIFORM.

Practically every horse in th? field has " shown ability to mn a mile well and the race appears very open. Curie's mile gallop the other morning was attractive and he is h good performer who should make a bold bid for victory. The three-year-olds Gay Sheila. Red Manfred, Star Artist and lmpasto Bre nicely placed and should nil make forward showings. Jonathan and Kil.towyn are solid performers always worthy of respect. and Takakua is another likely to be troublesome. Pomp has failed to do as well in handicaps as he has done in small fields in weight-for-age events, but he be equal to registering a surprise. L'Allegro should beat most of those lower down, although Golden Chant, lmamint and Rereatu are improvers who should not be disgraced. 1 The favourites may be GAY SHEILA. RED MANFRED. IMPASTO. 2.S:—GREAT NORTHERN CHAMPAGNE STAKES, Of £600: two-year-olds: colts and geldings 8.10. fillies 8.7; 7 fur. st. lb. st lb. Pin Mon?y . 810 Gay Blonde . 8 7 Royal Appellant 8 10 Burnish . 8 i ! On form the issue appears to rest between Rnrnish and Gay Blonde, two brilliant fillies, with good credentials. It is in favour c* Burnish that she has won at the distance, but Gay Blonde is a much improved filly, who should prove a very worthy opponent for her. Pin Money has plenty of epeed and Royal Appellant is solid. However, both may be held safely by the other pair. The bulk of the investments may be entrusted to I BURNISH. GAY BLOXDE. 3.32—MAN GERE STEEPLECHASE, Of £275; about 2} miles / st. lb. st,. lb. Biforrn ... 11 4 Zane Grey ..91 Brown /ibbey 10 10 Hit the Deck 9 0 Riotous . . 10 10 Grant's Opal . 9 0 Patutahi ... 10 5 Domo 9 0 It is probable that there will be only 3vc runners, as Biform is expected to run in the Brighton Hurdles, while Hit ih- Deck is / rot" to run and there is also a doubt about Domo. Form points to Patutahi, Riotous and Brown Abbey all possessing excellent chances and the presence of these three „ should ensure an interesting contrst. Patutahi is more familiar with the course than the other pair and thqt should be of assistance to him, although Riotous sho considerable beating if he does n°t pull hard, which he has a tendency U, do. There should be good support for I PATUTAHI. RIOTOUS. BROWN ABBEY. 4.I2—ONSLOW STAKES HANDICAP, Of £275; two-year-olds: 6 fur St. lb Bt - lb " Coronilla . 8 6 Red Flame . . 7 0 ' Lady Kyra . 710 Capns .70 Waitaka 7 0 Coronilla has the best credentials and her fine speed should assist her in the weak field, oven though she has yet, to prove that she can get six furlongs solidly. Lady Kvra is ii winner and she is a solid type of fillv who has yet to show her best. Waitaka has run several creditable races and should battle on solidly. Capris has made good progress since making a promising debut at Pnkekohe and may go well witn her light weight. Investors may prefer the fr>rn> horses and support CORONILLA, LADY KYRA. 4.S7«—EDEN HANDICAP, Of £275: 1 mile st. lb Bt- Ib - Werohia i. . . 8 13 Glenrata . . . 7 9 ■D'Artapnan ..88 Hushing •••77 King Musk . 8 7 Expectancy ..77 Royal Dash . 8 3 Loornbination 7 5 Versant . .83 Solomon ... 7 3 Senior . . . 8 3 Mungacre '..70 '• Hunting Bag . 8 1 Darrywell ..70 United ... 7 13 Supreme Court 7 0 Wee Musk . 7 13 Supreme Ruler 7 0 Coronis. 7 0 Horowhenua 7 0 Brackets:—Wee Musk and Horowhenua.
