RACING AT ELLERSLIE

NEW REASON OPENING TO-BAY GOOD FIELDS ENGAGED hunt cup steeplechase review of the prospects The new racing season in Auckland will he opened with the annual meeting of the Pakuranga Hunt at Ellorslie today. Kino lields are engaged and there "should be some excellent contests in spite ol the lad that the going is sure to be heavy alter the wet weather recently. The chief events will be tlio Pakuranga Hunt Cup and the Jellicoe Handicap, which have attracted some good performers, and both races appear very upon. The single-pool system of betting will be, used, with two dividends in lields of live or more. Following are details of the lields, with a review of the prospects in each race by "Archer" : 11.45 —GREENMOUNT HUNTERS' STEEPLECHASE. Of £200; about '2V a miles st. lb st.

(Jay Cavalier has been working pleasingly and should lie assisted by his condition and safe jumping. Mann has no form, but Pyrenees has shown promise and should be all the better for the experience he gained in June, lka, who failed in his three starts last season, hails from L. Knapp's stable and lias good condition. Kittle is another who is fit. In the absence of To Monatekapa, the favourites may be GAY CAVALIER. IK A.

Lack of experience may be against Impasto, but his brilliance should take him a long way if lie jumps correctly. Koxy has no recent form, but is capable of a good 'performance if produced lit. London should make a forward showing in the class and Floodlight, who has been unlucky in his latest races, shaped creditably in running fourth in the hurdle race Inncss Lad won at Tauranga in June. Golden Spr?lii has placed form to his credit and British Banner is promising, although he may require experience. Bass has shown promise as a hurdler and the likeliest of the others may be Hopalong Some who may find favour are

Paddv the Rip and Spearford, Rajanya and Tupeotu, Gay Bell and Manawahe. Valdene and Marheke, Gold Petal and Oriental Bay, Piracy and Kenneth Robert, Orally and Summary, Miss Lovelock and Running: Shoes. Owing to the large size of the field, arrangements have been made to run the race in two divisions and there ill be a number of brackets. With Jan Ridd and Olympus Mr. R. T. Reid has 11 likely representative in each division. Jan Ridd's form at Trentham was good and he should take a lot of beating if ho goes ns well here. Paddy tlio Rip and Valdene have been working well and should run prominently if they jnmp out smartly. High Sea should not be without prospects and Erlick should be very dangerous if he repeats the form he revealed at Matamata. OF those in the second division, Jan Rickl has the best recent form and his prospects appear bright. Huntingmore and Galloping Acre are speedy -\nd Jayola was a winner as a two-year-old last season. Oriental Pay has been galloping well, but has not had much racing experience. Spearford looks improved and Frontino showed a lot of pace at Matamata. The main fancies may include: —- First Division— OR WERE. PADDY THE RIP Second Division — JAN RIDD.

Enge has failed in his latest races, but he excels when the going is heavy and is not without prospects. Kilonsa is very fit and may be expected to register a solid performance. Royal Bachelor did well as a sprinter last season and is nicely placed. Prince- Acre and Knight of Australia are likely to run solid races, but last year's winner, Valmint, may be preferred to them. Valmint has been working pleasingly and is ready for a solid performance. Day Wind is not without a chance and track form suggests prospects for Kena, who was never better, and Armacourt. Orac won at New Plymouth recent Iv and relishes heavy Koing. Cay Rebel has an opportunity to niak<>- amends for, his defeat at Matamata. Broun Lap «"d Gay Sister are recent winners and the latter is on the improve. The bent supported may bo VALMINT, ■ KENA, KILONSA 2,40 PAKURANGA HUNT CUP, Ol and Cup valued at £25; about 3 miles St.. lb.

at Ellorslie in .June, and, although he failed afterwards at Trentham, he has to be respected. Hanover has won at Ins last, two starts and is an improver of whom the best lias not been seen. Kinkle and Hanover both schooled well on Thursday. Saint Musk is a line fencer, but lie does not. appeal as much as En Tour, who won the race two yours ago. En Tour is a line stayer and recently ran a good second at Matamata. The likeliest of the others may bo IJoxy and Floodlight. Some who may be in demand are HANOVEH.

The topweight, Loombination, acts well in heavy going and so does rhe improving El Meynell, who has recorded two 'wins and a second in his last three starts. Silver Glow is another improver and he litis run three successive seconds. His turn is .due at any time. Susan won over six furlongs at To Ha pa, in .lune and Erlick displayed his best form to date when he won at Matamata last month. Vaalso raced unluckily at. the .lune meeting at Ellorslie and should take beating if lie displays the same dash. Long Span is an improver who has shaped creditably in his latest races and the same appiios to Palniint, who has boon working nicely. General I'iske, Krontino and Captain Bruce arc also possibilities. Strong support may come for EL MEYNELL, SILVER GLOW. VAALSO

Hanover is to run in the Pakuranga Hunt Cup and Hopalong is engaged earlier in the Harris Memorial Hack and Hunters' Hurdles. Hessketoon, who is very fit, ran second in a similar event at Gisbornc recently and appears to have good, prospects. r I rue ran a third and a second at Gisbornc last month and seems to be on the upgrade. Aramis has not done as well as expected, but should have a chance in this company. The likeliest of the others may be Dauber, Latour's Last and Pyrenees. The main fancies may be

Cheval do Voice is in good order and should make a forward showing. Crooning has not been working with her former daSh, but no fault can be found with her condition. Maori Song lias a chance to make amends for recent failures and he went nicely yesterday. Tybalt is in his element when the going is heavy and the same applies to Young Paddon, who is on the improve and likely to go well. Calorie, Philcourt and Milanion were winners as two-year-olds last season, but may. not find it easy in this company. Land Girl has been working freely and has a chance if she repeats hef track form. Popular fancies may bo TRILLIARCH, MAORI SONG. YOUNG PADDON.
