WAIPUKURAU, MONDAY

Some Recent Running As Guide

It is just the same with Waipukurau as with the other holiday meetings— there will be no paucity of horses;

AND again, the acceptances were missing when this review was written. However, the meeting follows m the train of Hawkes Bay, and that should be of material assistance. High Court and Bold Front have the right form m the Waipukurau Cup, providing Dick Johnson does not arrive with The Swell. No doubt Owner Craig is hopeful of winning his own cup with Perle de Leon, and making his tally of four out of four. ' . Cuticle, many thought, won the last at Hastings on Saturday. Here is his chance to win one for Jim McFarlane. Admiral Drake and Queen's Choice

may be seen to advantage m the same race. > The Hatuma Handicap, run over five furlongs, will see money for Golden Shadow, Toboggan, Abbey Queen, Manifesto and Lady Liucerne. Golden Shadow and Lady Lucerne will go a merry trip. The class of hack engaged m the mile and a-quarter event is poor and Mothplane may cheer up the natives of Waipawa. Birkbeck has pace, but what of the condition? The two and three-year-old event, the Oringi Handicap, should see Fitz Quex winning his first race. They are a poor crowd — the names saddled on several of them would stop a . Gloaming — and Toboggan may be the next best and show that he is not on the slide. The Madmen's Derby, the gentlemen jockeys' race, will trouble only those, on the course. History established earlier m the day will assist backers when it comes time to consider, the Purimu Handicap. Golden Shadow will probably have had an outing, and he may be passed by m favor of Airforce, which will come m fresh. ' ■ - He has been running prominently for seven furlongs m fair class mile fields and this should be good enough form to win.
