Vera Acre is splendidly conditioned and should go well, while R. S. Bagby holds a strong hand with both Tidalia and Enlightenment engaged. Valise and V'alrent havo shown promise and Racing Ladv lias recorded minor placings. Orefiefd was second last year and Hip/a Quality has been working well at Tafcranini. The prime fancies may bo ' VERA ACRE. TIDALIA. VALRENT. I.O—HIKURANGI HACK HANDICAP. Of £80; 1 mile I, st. lb. Bt. lb. Lady Diana . 7 8 Tidalia . . . 7 0 Teddy Boy . 7 8. Te Broney . . 7 0 Impellant . . 7 o Enlightenment 7 0 La Femme Noir 7 2 This is a well-balanced field that should 'provide a good race. Lady Diana won at Paeroa last month and Teddy Boy was a good fourth in the Normanby Handicap at Ellerslie, which was won by Mazir. Impellant displayed improvement by running a third at Avondale. Tidalia and Enlightenment are also improvers and whichever is started should go' well. La Femme Noire is a recent winner and To Broney is a verv promising novice who mav win at any time. The best supported may bo TODDY BOY, ENLIGHTENMENT. TE BRONEY. I,4S—HUANUI HACK HURDLES, Of £9o:'ls miles and 197yda. at. lb.

Lap Up _is a beginner with distinct possibilities. Merry Lap finished fourth when Soloist won on the first day at Avondale and a repetition of that form should make him dangerous. Hawthorn has been working.well and appears to be a good prospect, while Tea Chat V may be >best of the others. The main > fancies may include ' MERRY LAP, . , HAWTHORN. ;,. .. . LAP UP. 2.3O—WHANGAREI CUP. Of £150: It mile» •t. lb. Bj.lb.

Baroscope is capable of , running prominently if he produces his best. Gay Broney is handily placed and is a genuine customer who should take a lot of beating. Bonny Gay was second at her last start, but Bronze Tray has no recent form. Miss Lu is an improver likely to make a forward showing and the best of the others may bo Green Patch and Gay Cockade. Tho favourites may be GAY BRONEY, MONANUI, MISS LU.

3,IO—COUNTY HANDICAP, Of £6O: int. »t. lb. lb > Monanui . . 12 4 : • I Royal Potoa .10.4 Lady Bonms . 7 0 Gold Pocket 9 « Appelhgbt . . 7 0 Olivette ~ .80, Marnui . . .

Olivette was a winner in tho class last season and should again be prominent. Monanui has a big weight and possibly J. Hoey may rely upon Marnui, who looked susceptible to much improvement the last time she racod. Royal Potoa is capable of a creditable performance and others who may have to bo reckoned with are Gold Pocket and Tondaleyo. Popular fancies may be s OLIVETTE, MARNUI, GOLD POCKET. 3.SO—KENBINGTON HACK HANDICAP, Of £80; f. fur. 1 ,t. lb. lb.

Muskon, Lady Express and Racetto, are all speedy and the latter pair the advantage of light weights. Abbey Feale and Landlubber would, also have chances if they ran right up to their best. Investors may show a preference for ,TE HAL TRIUNE, EXPRESS. 4.3O—MANAIA * HANDICAP. Of £loo} 6 lur. / st. lb. it* lb. Bouehal . . . 9 7 Bellkyrian . . ' ® British Ballymoney .

In spito of his big weight, Boughal should go well. British Columbia has been racing fairly consistently and niay be dangerous. King Mestor is capable of a good effort if caught in the mood. Bollkyrian, should tako considerable beating if reserved, while Crooning and Ballymoney are another likely pai • There may be good support for BOUGHAL, / 'BELLKYRIAN, CROONING. 5.10 PARAHArKI HANDICAP.
