SONERI FAVOURITE AGAIN

Canterbury Gup To-morrow RED PICKLE IN THE MEMBERS’ , If the handicaps for the final day of the New Zealand Cup meeting have succeeded in balancing form and bringing previous runners at the meeting fairly close together, then the racing should be very interesting tomorrow. Some of the star performers of the meeting in Soneri, Golden Souvenir, Royal Tan, Howe, and others, are booked to appear again, and some first-class sport is in store for patrons at Riccarton, Unfortunately, Signal Officer will not be on the scene, but there is ample material engaged to make it certain that the way to the winning post will not be an easy-journey. There is no doubt that Soneri will start favourite for the Canterbury Cup, which may be a more solidly run race than the Churchill Stakes. The meeting between Soneri and Golden Souvenir will be full of interest. The following may be among those in favour for the concluding card: — 10.47: Port Cooper Hurdles. —Abdicate, Battle Chief, Ruling Moment. 11.27: Canterbury Cup.— Soneri, Golden Souvenir.12.12: Irwell Handicap. —Sea Flower, Garry, Renowned. 12.57: Stonyhurst Handicap.— Howe, Rosswood, Keening. 1.42: Hagley Handicap. —Lincoln Fair, Slipshod, Kirkella. 2.27: Fendalton Handicap. —Joygiver, Hormuz, Double Cross. 3.17: Ashley Handicap.— Nightchild, Wane, Falconbridge 3.57: Members’ Handicap.— Red Pickle, Privilege, Deprive.
