Four likely starters m the Wanganui Guineas may contest the Railway Handicap at Ma'rton. ' • ' # / ■ # ' * Those engaged include Lady Cavendish, Mandane, Mimetic and Black Cat, and if they all start much interest will be taken m their running. ■ •.# •«= » There are a large number of two-year-olds m work m Wanganui, but the majority of them will not be ready until late m the season. : # # * Tangikai is a gelding that might win a race at the Marton meeting. The aged son of San Fran has pace and may prove good over a distance. '# ( ■*•■"# Ted Copestake, the well-known cross-country rider, lost no time m getting into the saddle again after his license was renewed. He appears to have improved greatly m health lately, and no doubt will show all his old' skill Wheh he rides m races again. ' :.••.•■:.•■■■.:: #■-. •' —„ # * Merle^has only been up a few weeks, but- lias. come on- like a house afire the last week .or so. Royal Diybrce is so' fit that if he goes to the post .in the Marton Handicap it will be hard to pick one to beat him. ; . •' * #■' '■• #. . Ohiii, the sister to Tamatete, *g in the Trial Plate at Marton. The Absurd filly has furnished on right lines, and with any luck m the running it will take a' good one to beat her. However, there are 59 other entrants! • ..-.,#....# . . # : ' Some are ..shaping fairly well, the most ■„ promising being Lysan.der, the brother to Motley. . If looks go for "anything this chap ought to make a champion. * - »* * . Vanninia, Te Kawa's brother, is being schooled over the hurdles at Wanganui, and has given fair promise. The son of Maniapoto is, however, not too sound, but he may make good as a jumper.- --;..■..,;•#.. • * * Bill Price, who did the starting at Feilding so well last Easter, has been appointed to a similar position for the Whangarei Club. There is said to be some prospect of the Waimarino Cfub holding a meeting on the Wanganui course on March 20. . •*- * * Deluge is pleasing his trainer at Wanganui, having given evidence of being as brilliant as ever. / It is said to be unlikely Deluge will race until the Wellington spring meeting.
