CANDIDATES FOR TAURANGA [MY TK.r.KG RA I* IT- —OWN rORUESPOXDRNT] . HAMILTON, Friday Te Rapa stables are freely represented in the fields for the combined meeting at Tauranga thifi week-end. In the Novice Handicap Ved Prior, Acre Man. Rosomao, Starbright and Trig Station arc local representatives, the best of them being Starbright and Trip: Station. Rincmae is unlikely to make the trip. Starbright was well supported at the recent Ohinemuri meeting. but failed to realise expectations. In the interim ho has worked well and it should not be on the score of condition if he fails to show to advantage at Tanrantra. Trie: Station appears to be on the upgrade. lie shaped encouragingly at Paeroa and the duality of his subsequent work indicates early possibilities. Little Briton lias taken no harm from his racing at Paeroa. where on the first day he beat all but En Tour, only to be disqualified, and on the Monday was 'noving up on the leaders five furlongs from home when he slipped on landing and threw his rider. Flo may make amends on this occasion Kenuiem. who now races in the interests of A. Winder, is entered for both the Opotiki Handicap and the K. S, Williams' Memorial High-weight Handicap, ami indications lire that the latter race will be her mission. She looks to have derived benefit from her racing at Paeroa and is not without prospects. Mio Fratollo has been working satisfactorily and according to nresent intentions will probably start on the flat the first day and contest the Hack and Hunters' Hurdles on the second dny. He has shown natural aptitude in bis schooling essays <ind interest will attach to his showing over obstacles. Young Paddon was responsible for a solid effort over five furlongs yesterday and may run prominently among the sprinters, especially if the track is a little soft. SCRATCHINGS POSTED Majority and Lexdcn were scratched at !) a.m. yesterday for all engagements at the Auckland Racing Club's Spring Meeting.
