Polydora .. 10 11 Trisox .. 9 0 Adult .. 10 6 Water Polo 9 0 Mount Boa 10 4 Grey Boy ..90 Anvil ..9 7 King's Arauline ..9 0 Parade .. 9 0 Polydora has latterly been a disappointment on the flat, and may, in fact, have become a bit tired of racing, but hot infrequently a turn over hurdles infuses a new zest into a horse. She is reported to have been schooling well, and may start a better favourite than Adult and Mount Boa. 12.35 p.m. NOVICE STAKES, Of 35sovs. Six furlongs. Coalpit Jack-a-hoy Pompeii Rathkeil Carnlough Queen Dorothy Frontage First View Citron Violenta The field for the Novice Stakes is mostly comprised of the unknown quantity or mediocrity that will have to tram on considerably to attract notice. The best of them may be shown by the betting, which frequently indicates improving track work. Violenta, First View, and Pompeii may be amongst those receiving support. 1.10 p.m. WINTER TROT, (Harness), Of 40sovs. One mile and a-half. Sylvie's Best scr Ivan de Oro .. scr Marie Potts .. scr Master Garry scr Locust .. .. scr Bondholder .. scr Bamboozle .. scr ydsbhd Erin's Guy .. scr Air Flow .. 24 Sea Peter .. scr Shpalong .. 06 Smithy .. ..scr If Air Flow is not troubled by the bends she should be hard to beat, but many will prefer Ivan de Oro and Sea Peter. 1.45 p.m. — HUNT CLUB CUP STEEPLECHASE HANDICAP, Of 40sovs (cup value £lO and £3O in specie). About two miles and a-quarter. et. lb. st. lb. Bandy Boa 913 Starlight .. 912 Tooter .. 9 13 Fiom .. .. 911 Cappy Ricks 9 12 Red Sceptre 9 9 Dundae Girl 9 12 Wykemist 9 4 Those engaged in the Hunt Club Steeplechase have yet to achieve fame, and probably more than a little guesswork would be required to nominate the 'favourite at the present stage. A search through the form does not create any enthusiasm. Bandy Boa finished fourth in the Riverton Steeplechase, and that may be considered good enough to make her favourite. Dundas Girl and Starlight may also find favour. 2.20 p.m. — WAIHAO HACK HANDICAP, Of 40sovs. Six furlongs. Knockfin .. 911 Pompeii ..7 8 Golden Dart 8 6 Violenta ..7 7 Importance 8 0 Queen Elgindale ..7 9 Dorothy 7 7 Call Money 7 9 Knockfin is one of the ruling favourites for the Winter Cup. She won at the Grand National meeting when meeting a big field in the Woolston Handicap, in which she carried 9.0 and ran seven furlongs in lmin 26 3-osec. She afterwards ran second to Waterpower at 'liinaru. Golden Dart and Elgindale may be selected as nest best to the top-weight.

2.55 p.m. — MORVEN HANDICAP. Of 60sovs. One mile.

If Waterpower is anything in like form she would be selected as favourite. Cleaner has been a disappointment for some time, but finished a fair fourth in the Prince Edward Handicap, run at Timaru, and they may be backed in the order on the card.

3.30 p.m. — hunters; plate flat HANDICAP,

The above field provides the problem of finding the best of a moderate lot, and Aueter, who has some placed performances, may be in demand, with insox and Peterette or Fiat Lux.

4.5 p.m. — WAIMATE HACK HANDICAP, Of 50sovs. Seven furlongs.

At one time Blazon gave indication of training into a good horse, hut his latest efforts have been disappointing. Golden Dart ran second to Rebel Lad at the Tunaru winter meeting, and will be suited by the shorter distance at Waimate. Golden Dart may start favourite, with Impala and Importance regarded as those most likely to cause trouble.
