st. II). st. lb 'L'mlor . . . . l'J Merry I-jl|) . . !) 10 High Quality Hi <> (Jay Cavalier ii 0 Valpai ■ • .10 ■! United .... !> 0

Although he has a rise of 101 b., Tudor should again race prominently. His chief danger is likely to come from Valpai, a newcomer, and High Quality, although soft going is not in favour of tins latter. The best supported may

TUDOR A'A LP A[. 12.42 MOANA HANDICAP, Of lino; (i fur. st. It). st. lb, Orefield ...88 Bon Star ..80 Huntsman's Krndale ...80 Chorus . . 8 0 Jotio Dance . 8 O Kacpata ... S U Droll .... 7 Hi Tip Toes ..st Tidcwaiter . . 713 Chief Emerald 8 0

A repetition of yesterday's form should make Huntsman's Chorus difficult to beat. Droll shaped well yesterday also and should have a good chance. Haepata is a newcomer who has minor placings to his credit and others likely to add interest to the contest aro Bon Star, Tidcwaiter, Tip Toes and Orefield. Some who may be in demand are HUNTSMAN'S CHORUS DROLL 1! AKPATA. I.27—SUBURBAN HANDICAP, iif f 175; (i fur. st. lb. st. lb.

In spite of a rise of 101b., Square Acre should again go well. Fox Moth may do a little hotter than on the first day and Gappy should he more at home in this class than he was in the Wynvard Plate. The conditions may not favour Paso Robles and the best of the others may he Fleetwind, Gay Egypt and Black Musk. The prime fancies may include POX MOTH SQUARE ACRE CAPI'Y. 2.17 RALPH HANDICAP, Of X' 150; 1/, miles St. II). st. lb. Hoy.il Gay Talkie . 7 12 Appellant . 9 0 Gay Broney 710 Knight of Tybalt .... 7 9 Australia . 8 3 Con Fuoco ..77 Kelly .... 8 1

The soft ground should suit Royal Appellant, who should be difficult to boat. Knight of Australia is again likely to be prominent and Kelly's effort yesterday indicated that he is not without prospects. Gay Talkie will require to show improvement to win hut Gay Broney may he handy even though heavy ground is not in his favour. Tybalt should give a good account of himself and Con Fuoco is capable of a creditable performance. The best supported may be

TYBALT ROYAL APPELLANT KNIGHT OF AUSTRALIA. 3.2—HOBSON HANDICAP, Of £200; two-year-olds; 6 fur. st. lb. st. lb. Bachelor Airain .... 8 10 King ... 9 13 Miss Appellant 7 7 Nuclei .... 8 12 Fold berg ... 7 7 Bachelor King should again race well in spite of his big weight, although he lias an impost that may steady him somewhat. Nuclei and Airam read best of the others and they should make their presence felt. The favourites may be NUCLEI AIRAM. 3.S2—HAURAKI PLATE, Of £300; special weights; 1 milo st. lb. sf. Ib. Professional . 8 12 Tosh .... 8 5 Kcrgi;i .... 8 12 Mainland ..86 Surella ... 8 7 Vera Aero . 8 5 Kuletto ... 8 7 Ringshot ..85 Aynion .... 8 5 Kollicker ..80 Form indicates nil excellent chance for Mainland, who is more at homo in soft going than most of the field. Rollicker may he al! the better for his race yesterday, and is likely to make an improved showing. Sergia and Kulette will require to do better than on the first day to succeed, hut Vera Acre should not he without a chance on a soft track. Popular fancies may bo

ROLLICKER MAINLAND VEIL\ ACRE. 4.37—DEVONPORT HANDICAP, or i::00; 7 fur. st. lh. st. It>. Triuno . . . !) '2 Armacourt . 8 0 Mata Iliiri . !S lo Kiihcris . . 7 l'J Ty halt- ... 8 O Hitfli Tea ..77 Nuu Nicer ..80 Lady's Boy . 7 7 Sweet Koso 8 0

The race lie had yesterday may improve Triune. Mata llari may be steadied by her rise in weight and Tybalt, it' reserved, may be a better prospect. Nun Nicer lias not raced for some time, but Sweet Hose is a newcomer whose form at the Summer Meeting at Ellerslie was good. Armaeourt may do better at seven furlongs than she did at six yesterday and Kilberis may he improved by the racing lie had at Thames last week. If Tybalt is started lie is likolv to be favourite, but in his absence the main fancies may be

Respectful has a chance to make amends for his defeat oil the first day and Valrent h a fresh horse who should not bo without prospects. Impellant. is useful when fit and Aymon ran fourth yesterday.
