TO-MORROW’S PROSPECTS. HAWKE’S BAY AND PAKURANGI. (By L.M.M.) j Wellington, This Day-. Racing enthusiasts will have two hunt meetings to hold their attention to-morrow. Prospects for both meeting- are as follows: — ’ Pakurangi. Greenmount Hunters Steeplechase (about 24 miles). —Form points to the top-weight Mandate, but there is some confusion as to whether he. will start in this event or the next on the firogramme, the Harris Memorial Hunters Hurdles. In his absence Freyja and Foxhound catch the eve.

Harris Memorial Hunters Hurdles (one mile and a-half). —It is rumoured here that Mashoor will start in the Pakurangi Hunt Cup, but should he go to the post in this event he and Pennyplain will carry the money. If started Mandate must be hard while northerners seem to fancy- Spalpiko’s chance. In the absence of Mashoor and Mandate the prospects of Penny plain and (Spalpiiko appear bright. Sylvia Park Handicap (seven furlongs).—A big field will go to the post. Xrentham form points to The Sun with L'noco and Sir Mond his most likely serious opponents.

Jellieoe Handicap) (one mile and a quarter).—On her Riccarton performance in the Winter Cup Nancy Leo holds a grand winning chance despite the fact she is making Iter first effort over the extra quarter. Hannibal, who has been doing great- track work and Standfast appear to be her hardest opposition.

■Pakurangi Hunt Gup (about three miles). —The three top-weight, Mashoor, Odin and St. Warrigal appeal. Odin is reported to be in capital order. Auckland Handicap (one mile). —The performance of Eosshire at the recent Trentham meeting shows him to be outstanding in this field. Sir Mond. the topweight, and Catoma read like his most worrying opposition. Ladies’ Bracelet Handicap (one mile and a-quarter)'.—Pennyjplain, Fall o’ the Year and Solanto hold best credentials for this event. Dunedin Handicap (six furlongs).— Prince of Orange and Gold Money. Hawke’s Bay Hunt. Rivorslea Hunters Hurdles (13 miles) —Tail Timber and Postman. Park Hack Hurdles (ljf miles). — There are only- five acceptors and one dividend. Ilaiully appeals.
