SOME EJiTCELLENTiiFIELDS. \ The postponement o fthe popu- [ lar Combined Hunt Club's fixture at New Plymouth until Thursday and Saturday of the coming week* left a complete blank on the racing calendar for New Zealand so far as Saturday was concerned; however, in view of the considerable local and interest regarding next week's New Ply- i mouth meeting, an early review of the fields will be Welcome, especially to the big army of "doubles seekers,"' * Considering his second p lg to Miss Tango at. his last, start at Awapuni, Stroller is likely, to receive plenty of support in the Trial Hunters' Steeplechase. Mr. Ken Duncan usually produces sor; of a hunter at Njw Plytnouth, and next week Evermdiv will be carrying his colours. (. nical Smile has shown himself lo be a -'iiV juniper following the Taranaki hounds, while Cailamost has displayed some promise in his recent Ha. wera schooling work. In view of the fact that he ?s to be a candidate for some of the loading classic races, Brilliancy sh-'-ild be capable of making his presence felt in the Wereroa Maiden event. • ' Shemseh is particularly well -bred, and has plenty of pace, while bright reports come from Wanganui concerning Mr. Frank Bristol's candidate, Airing. Few of the hacks racir o ' :"n the Whenuakura e had outting.- during the wfrftv;. mon r *s, but Wahine Nui was a winner time on: in the s Bay, wkue Prince Reno has al?o shown winning form during the winter. Red Sand, High Test, and Golden Rill have all been working very satisfactorily in their recent track gallops.; Lady Voyonne hails from a strong northern stable, while Kaola had fair flat fcrra before putu to hurdling. Don Erin a. has been responsible for rather impressive eohMl'" ; essays over the New Plym.a 'country" lately, and is obviously improved since he ran second *o M'ss Pango at Marton at his last start. The Danlloff gelding' may be a prime early fancy for the Egmont-Wanganul Hunt Cup. Indiscretion came to light with a really, good winning effort at Pakuranga this''week, and It Is significant that Jack Fryer has preferred him for the Egmont-Wanganul Steeplechase to Cynical Kid.

Although the class of sprinter is strong in the Waihau Handicap, a seasoned runner like Prince Acre is likely to command a lot of attention. Prince Acre came right tack to best form at Pakuranga. Tonnerre and Notium both represent real class, and many run prominently, despite their lack of recent racing.

Royal Secret is another with goodi credentials, white last year's winner, Gold Mission, is also likely to run well. It appears to be one of the most even open sprint Be! j race in' Tarauaki for some timo t. As both Glenyane and On. have rac d against open flat comtany, they may prove stronger class than the majority Oj. the candidates for the '.;. as* Bracelet. The Cenirepiece mare, Bliss Pango, has a good turn oi hat pace as well as being a roved steeplechaser.
