MINOR EVENTS AT TAKAPUNA

Looking Over Ponui- and Highweight

(From "N.Z. Truth's" Special Auckland Representative.) There are two events at Takapuna of more than a mile and those engaged cannot be referred to as first-classy

fOR the Ponui, the class is so moderate, that Baby Bun' — anything but a stayer — is found on top of the list with 9st. But she has more speed than the rest, though 9at over nine furlongs should just prove troublesome unless she can slow the fielft down out m front. Then it would be within her grasp. There was nothing much m Acushla's victory at Thames over ten furlongs. . ■ I Nassock should have won that clay. Ho is m again, while Auriculous is more than a possibility. Piet should go nine furlongs well and has placed form of late as a recommendation. Bold Front has given evidence of staying on and if started Jamieson's

charge may go near breaking his spell of outs. Piet and Nassock are a pair likely to be looming up near the end. The High- Weight is over a course extending as far as eleven furlongs and 40 yards. In this, Bold Front also appears within five pounds of the minimum and if he happens to take it on In preference to the Ponui, his prospects must be taken seriously into account. . He is one of the few which can be referred to as on the improve. They are mostly of the has-been order, with perhaps the exception, of Red Comet and' Uralla at the weights. Still, it seems that "here is Bold Front's real chance to break his maiden status.
