WELL FILLED

Feilding Hurdles

SOLID SUPPORT FOR SEVERAL

The Hurdles at Feilding have filled very well and with thirteen paid up' for the first day there should be good speculation. Two or three horses are sure to come m for solid support.

At the top of a light handicap is Santiago with lOst 131 b. Santiago is one of the heart-breaking sort, who must have everything his own way. He must not .be bustled at any stage of the race, the ground must be firm, and his rider must sit still till the last furlong is m sight. Then, if -the field is not too far m front, Santiago will get into the money. V

"• So there is Santiago and. his peculiarities. He may win to-day, and nobody deserves win more than Hughie Johnston, but there is a lot to back against.

Many Colours will not be at his best after his spell, but Otauru Kid

lUiiiii'iiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiHiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

iiiitiiiiiimiiiiiiiinniiiiiimmiiimiiimiiiiimniiiiiiiiiiiimmiiiiiimmimmmmi who was not a runner at Trentham owing to knocking himself, will go with them. ...... . . Lady Gay. ran .off at Levin, and is given the cold shoulder as a result. She was .going extremely well when she ducked off, too. , Gold Peak wants the race, but Strategy does not. He failed at Levin when' the coin, was carried and the right assistance was on top. Crown Coin was a good hurdler till he broke down. He has had a couple of runs this season without result, but to-day he will have his iirst pop over the fences. Bonny Rill is a goocVmare, and under her light weight will not be far from the leaders when the post is m line. Bonecto won at the right end at Levin, and he would have won by a big margin had there been another two furlongs to cover. Form points to him as the winner, and whatever heads him V off should collect the big end of the' stake. The remainder of the field do not appear to have any chance of whacking the 1 crowd mentioned above. ' Bonecto. will be favorite and lie should pay a dividend. Those who may be somewhere thereabouts at the finish are Santiago and Otauru Kid.
