RACING AT AVONDALE

Review of Fields ELLERSLIE FORM SHOULD COUNT (By "Sir Oracle.") The fields for the first day, tomorrow, of the Avondaie Jockey Club's meeting read like a continuation of the Ellerslie Easter carnival. Therefore Ellerslie form should point the way in most of the races.

ROSEBANK HANDICAP. Seven furlongs—Transaction 8.8; Loombination 8.6; Arawa Rose 8.2; Darraa, Miss Lulu, Sandy Dix 8.1; Gold Sceptre, Diversion, Sweet Whisper 7.13; Wee Pat 7.11; Sir Val, Shun Latour, Miss Rewa, Supreme Ruler, Toplight, Phiakuo, Kilmuir, Regarded, Bush Lawyer, Armutum, Notamint, Golden Spahi, Marchette 7.10. ', The Rosebank Handicap has drawn .a big field, but on known performances they are rather a poor lot. Diversion gave Landlubber a hard race at Takapuna in February, and Landlubber is a good sort of a hack. Sir Val is the reputation runner, while Loorabinatiou was placed at. lis last start at Te Rapa. The pick may be Diversion. Sir Val, Lownbinati.-ii. HIGHWEIGHT HANDICAP. One milo and a quarter—Kilt'own 11.3; Singleton 10.9; High Commissioner, Biforni 9.12; Free Air 9.11; Grand Spirit 9.6; Glenhaupo, Regardez, Safe Bank, Courthaven 9.0. After his two impressive EJlerslie victories, it seems only a matter of Kiltowyn's being able to carry his big weight for him to have the Avondaie Highweight in safe keeping. High Commissioner, Solanio, Singleton and Free Air will also claim safe supporters. It looks like Kiltowyn, High Commissioner, Solanio. OAKLEY HANDICAP. For two-year-olds. Six furlongs—Rereatu 9.2; Coronis 8.7; Gold Pocket, King Mestor 7.13; Rapper 7.12; Cherry King, My Oney 7.6; Lady Lucas 7.0. Considering that he was good enough to beat Princess Doreen at Ellerslie, Rereatu appears the most dangerous runner in the Oakley Handicap Coronis, Gold Pocket, King Mestor and the Taranaki youngster, Rapper, will also be accorded somo support. The vote goes to Rereatu, Rapper, Coronis. *
