Archibald and Brighton Hurdles TOWN BANKySPOONY AND DESERT GLOW (From "Truth's" Special Auckland Representative.) /" .. If the form of Brighton Hurdle candidates m the Jumpers' flat at Franklin was true, then punters must look elsewhere for the winner of the Brighton Hurdles. <~ v . : _ ■

THAT is, unless Kawini ('which was third last week) can again head over hurdles those pitted against him. . ♦ . ■ Archibald may prove a nuisance • on Saturday. King's Guard is a hurdle horse of some promise not overburdened at, 10.7. : ■ ;■-•■• Black Cruiser, Bright Light and Peter Amans may do better over hurdles this week than on the flat last Saturday. . Archibald and Hannon's bracket, however, should be m the picture. With Bustler under a cloud, the Mangere Steeples may find Peter Maxwell or t King Abbey the favored candidates. Aussie (if reserved for the On —

slow Stakes) will take a heap of beating, even with his 9.0. 1 In his absence, :: War. Officer would only need to begfin- well .to-be troublesome to the best of the. others. Town Bank, Spoony, Desert Glow and Tarleton may appeal m the order named- for the President's if the firstnamed is started. -5 -- . ' * ;J , In this race, both Star, Stranger and Mask, two St. L,eger candidates on Monday, are booked to appear.' If Star Stranger's late track work shows that he has improved since/Napier he may be the absolute favorite. On his Christmas and Wellington Cup form he would be the hardest to dispose of. '
