Eleven Royal Bob ! .* Lt have paid up including Bright Light, the favourite of the yds. bhd. first day which came undone, and Great Change, who Bright Light . 12 did not start. Of those on the end Real Todd and Peter Tracey . 24 Royal Bob will have most friends, but Bright Light Goldstar g6n '6O should hold this lot safe, and Peter Tracey also apGreat Change ! 96 peals better than the limit contingent. Bright Light Roez . . .°. ! 108 Jast yea.r won well over 12 furlongs and will no doubt Anseline .... 10S be capable of getting the extra distance now. Roma Bingen is not doing things just quite right, but Gold Star is a possibility. Great Change is a solid customer over two miles. At Wanganui he was second to Native Star, who was in receipt of 36 yards, and ran the journey in 4.45 4-5. A week later at Hawera Corrigan’s trotter was again second to Native Star in 4.51 2-5, so off 4.54 to-morrow he must be ha.rd. Roez is back with the better ones now, but may still be away from them at the finish, and Anseline is sure to trot a good race. The favourites may be GREAT CHANGE, BRIGHT LIGHT, PETER TRACEY. 12,45 EPSOM HANDICAP Of £300; 1% miles. 3.33 limit. Dillon Huon . Lt Surveyor . Lt Twenty-two, with 12 off the limit, is the main point Beatty * * Lt * nteres t * n this contest, where once again a good deal r * will depend on position at the peg and smartness with P d St- , a ** ’ T the jump out. Red Sltar did so well when Ife beat all Hohoro ai Lt except Padlock on Saturday that he is sure to command Halgana' .’ * Lt a heap of respect, and Dillon Huon and Beatty will Golden Park ! Lt have a number of supporters. Hohoro was disappointMaid of the ing on Saturday and Horizon did not do as well as Mountains . . Lt expected. Gold Circle was in the picture quite a lot, Percy Dillon . Lt and is one that .will benefit by the race, although he Horizon 10 ° Lt may not yet be cherry ripe. Halgana and Golden Park Admiral Hood Lt both be treated respectfully, and Concertina was Bonanza . . . Lt noticed finishing on well on the opening day. The Peter Grattan Lt. bracket Bonanza—Peter Grattan, may upset calculations.

Amarte P . ? Lt detrU® f small . t flela } n th « thousand-poLder should not Black Lila . . 12 detract from its value as a spectacular item. Of the Holly Boy ... 12 hunt pair, Amaris and Lord Nepean, the former, who will First Carbine . . 24 bracketed with the first-day winner; Jewel Pointer Jewel Pointer . 60 will receive most attention. Amaris was never in better Cardinal Logan 72 spirits or condition, and from the front will give all r :i, -j - . , , those behind him something to do to head him off. Black h nJi ?- rS - i da / » ri j n . nms ’ wIU toe, in, the picture again and she promises /’i! 1 °S mterest - Holly Boy is not shaping like a probable -while First Carbine will not be ready for such a solid task. Jewel Pointer will race as well, if not better, again to-morrow and it will be interestmg to witness a ding-dong duel with Cardinal Logan. The latter will no doubt benefit by his run on Saturday and must finish closer to the thick end of the purse. Although the fi£ld is small the machine return, with such an open .issue, should be large, and when the totals are checked the order may be AMARIS—JEWEL POINTER BRACKET, CARDINAL LOGAN, BLACK LILA. 3.10 FRANKLIN HANDICAP * or £350. 2 miles. 4.39 limit. Rh. llif, ■ - • Lt This event will provide plenty of speculation for the Reliance '' ' it Public, who will be hard pressed to make a favourite Padlock ... . 12 selection. Daytime, Buz Buz and Reliance are off the Gold Jacket . . 24 end, and ,of the trio Daytime will secure most support. Woodvale ... 30 Just behind this lot is Padlock, and if the LongburnDirect Morning 30 trainer’s gelding is ready for a two-mile tussle, the others Nelson Tasker . 30 will have the hardest part to do to keep him out of the irn a eie°i?erf ' ' nS lion ’s share. He is in the ten-furlongs later, and this Dick Dillon ' ' « may be his mission. Gold Jacket Is nicely placed and Waikaha . IS ' vlll bo one °f the hardest to dispose of. There is a Florent' .... 00 nice lot on, the next row, which comprises Woodvale, Nelson Fame . S 4 Direct Morning, Nelson Tasker, Wallroon and Uncle Bert, any of which, with a bit of luck in the running, might pull out a fine effort. Of the lot Uncle Bert, despite his failures on the opening day, may do best at this distance, although Wallroon is threatening to arrive home. Waihaka did not start on Saturday, but if he goes to the post to-morrow his friends will be with him to beat the pacers. Dick Dillon has prefererd this heat to the mile saddle, and will be knocking. Florent is back on 4.34, but that should not trouble him, and Nelson Fame has a big task to pick up some of those in front. Public support may be for PADLOCK, UNCLE BERT, GOLD JACKET. 3 KQ VISITORS’ HANDICAP * Of £4OO. 2 miles. 4.44 limit. Ngatira .... 12 This is a small field for a square-gaited event, but it ThA tU TarfQr * * Vi is nevertheless brimful of possibilities. Ngatiri went a Tiser Salve * * «.{ solid £° on the first day, but was not quite good enough p eter ' ‘ w for Sister Beatrice, but on the present mark the WellsMcKinney' . . 3G ford-trained trotter may turn the tables on his Hawera Tradesman . . 4S conqueror. Mutu does not appear to be back to form, Sister Beatrice 48 and The Tartar again demonstrated on Saturday that he Is not reliable. He was hopped away on the screw, but before going far tangled and was soon last. He may or may not be right tomorrow. Tiger Salve, the hero of the unhoppled race at Epsom last month, will take his place in the field and he promises to take a prominent part at the finish too. He is just -asked to go what he did recently and as he appears to have improved in the interval he should be knocking at the door. Peter McKinney still refuses to do it right all the way, and Tradesman is skipping frequently. If the latter did it right, there would not be much left for the others. Sister Beatrice has come right, and if she pulls out another good effort will be cheeky. Speculators l may say SISTER BEATRICE, TIGER SALVE, NGATIRA. 44C DUNEDIN HANDICAP (Saddle) Of £500; 1 mile; 2.14 limit. Caprice . . . Lt This is an event that will appeal to backers, notAmaris .... Lt withstanding the paucity of numbers, as it is a saddle Anselni ’ 12 da sh. Off the front is Amaris, who, should he escape Lady Dunmore 12 a Penalty earlier, will give the rest a headache, proHolly Boy ... 12 vidihg he hits the trail smartly and he should account All Bell .... 24 for Caprice. Then comes Black Lila, a bonny saddle Nelson Fame . . 48 mare, and if she is still on the same peg, after the big heat has been run, the public will not let her go by. Anselm is another one that can go with the weight on his back and last year he won the mile saddle on the first day of the Otahuhu spring fixture. Then comes Lady Dunmore, and this speedy customer will be quite at home in saddle. She won this heat 12 months ago. tramping 2.13 2-5. Holly Boy may go better this way. and All Bell, if the going is not too hard, will be handy at the finish. Nelson Fame, if right, get among this lot, but he does not appear to be at his best. In a good pool favouritism may lean towards: AMARIS, ANSELM, LADY DUNMORE. C4O ROYAL OAK HANDICAP Of £350: 11 miles; 2.52 S limit. Huon Grattan Lt . Hypo Lt Seventeen are carded to appear in this neat, genPadlocic . ] ! Lt eratly known as the Recovery Stakes, and it promises Lord Minto . . . Lt to provide a suitable wind-up to an interesting proRuapere . . . Lt gramme. Ten will leave from the front and those RivnrMpwah ’ * it behind will probably find it difficult to get through. Buz Buz . . \ Lt Padlock looks the pick of the bunch, and Hypo, another Kingsclere" ! Lt °1 ( 1 timer, the others will find a tough nut to crack. He Our Patch . . Lt showed on Saturday that he is coming back to someI Van Rich •. . 12 thing like form, so should be worth noting. Lord Minto j Mulwaree ... 12 is trying to stage a come-back and Kingsclere is racing ; Pitaroa .... 24 fairly consistently. Our Patch may benefit by the race it scandal 1 .* [ \ 24 on Saturday, and Van Rich will be one of the toughest Goldman *l “ 3G to keep out of a place. Mulwaree was fancied in the | Lady Joan ... 35 mile saddle last week but did not start, but the roan shbuld have something to say in the settlement of this | heat. Scandal will come in for a good deal of support and Goldman and Lady Joan are nicely placed. When everything is balanced the favourites | may be : -ar PADLOCK, MULWAREE, HYPO.
