Them Is Too Much Recent Form' To Consider

STARICOMET had:racing on the flat at Takapuna to sharpen him up, but ljas 11;3, with which he will ,be kept Busy pacing ! it with some of those lower down. Pendavies and Air King are recent winners, while St. Warrigal won the Hunt Steeples at Cambridge, showing plenty of pace out m front. , Marble King's fencing experience last week should improve him, and one with his pace should make it merry the whole, way. . ■ It is probable Marble \ King will make it two on end for George Reid. For the Kihikihi Handicap, Tenakoe has prospects of making amends for his Takapuna failure, though the allowance for a stronger horseman than at Takapuna should improve matters for Hpniton. Valrbe and Hakanoa must also be taken into account, but it really looks like Tenakoe and Honiton. • The Waipa , Plate finds a '_ mixed lo< engaged, with Merry Lv, Red Lion and Wee 'Prince boasting /placed form ol late as some recommendation, of which trio, Merry Lu's second to Karangapai over a more lengthy trip reads best. However, it is a weight- for tag? event m favor of two-year : olds such as Toujours and Aspian,^: both of which are "still engaged fen the Foal Stakes
