Class Horses Will Race at Woodville

REVIEW OF AN INTERESTING PROGRAMME

r V HE WOODVILLE FIXTURE TO-MORROW AND OX THURSDAY WILL HOLD A LOT OF INTEREST FOR AUCKLANDERS BY REASON OF THE FACT THAT SEVERAL HORSES WILL BE GIVEN THEIR FINAL TRY-OUT IN PUBLIC PRIOR TO BEING BROUGHT TO ELLERSLIE. A REVIEW OF TO-MORROW'S CARD APPEARS BELOW.

r PiTERE ,is one pleasing factor about races held at Woodville. It is this. The horses are given 'every show on the course, which is a very nicely laid out racing track, with its two furlongs’ run in to the judge. In the majority of races the horses are given every show, but at the five and six-furlong barriers fancied candidates require to be well placed. A beginning will be made at 12.15 p.m. with the

Recent running points to Red Fuchsia, Bright Day, Star Area, Polyphemus, Revel, Mister Gamp, Braeman and Chrissarto as having a chance. To reduce this eight further, it is possible that the favoured division on

the totulisator will comprise MISTER GAMP, RED FUCHSIA and BRIGHT DAY. There is the usual bis buncn engaged in the

There is some promising material here, and among them could be mentioned Chelone, Cloyne, Hinetekorangi, Royal Picture, Card Trick, Mend-ip and Greengrocer. The first-mentioned is a Leighton three-year-old who was in a place in each of his four starts last season, and this is his first race at this age. Hinetekorangi ran forward at Feilding, and Royal Picture was in the van to the straight at the same place. The three that will carry the money will no doubt be CHELONE, ROYAL PICTURE and HINETEKORANGI. .. ..

This brings us to the big event, the WOODVILLE HANDICAP

Grand Knight on Riccarton running reads well, while with a drop of

a stone to Bennanee, the next on the list, the latter is in nicely. Royal Game claims a later engagement, and Cimabue last season was regarded as more of a sprinter than a horse likely to develop into a stayer. He is really smart over six furlongs, and considerable interest will be taken in his race over 10 furlongs to-morrow. Anolo won the Ashhurst Cup, and is highly thought of, while Kilmiss made no mistake when her rider put up six pounds overweight and scored at Feilding on Thursday. Joy Bird is fancied for her later engagement, Waicullus, Wild Pigeon, David Garrick and Tintoretto read best of those further down, and the first-named is a possibility. It looks as if backers will declare for BENNANEE, CIMABUE and ANOLO. The hack sprinters are to make their appearance in the

Among those that could be given chances are Miss Pat, Aston, Panther, Iveddar, Eka, Lucky Days, Some Lad, Courageous, Expense, Ring Boy and Rotowhero, and of these Lucky Days

showed a vast improvement at Feilding. where she ran a third and a second. The roomy Woodville course will suit her than some of the others. LUCKY DAYS, MISS PAT and COURAGEOUS will probably carry the most money. There are several smart and promising two-year-olds in the I

Of the above four are winners, these being - Ridgmount, Tea Miss, Chit and Australis, while Marion’s Birthday and Shot Silk have been placed. Ridgmount won a race at Rand wick a couple of months ago and is very highly regarded by those who j saw him complete this performance. l In some quarters he is looked upon as likely to develop into one of our leading youngsters, therefore his performance to-morrow afternoon will be watched with considerable interest. The fancied trio promise to be RIDGMOUNT, TEA MISS and AUSTRALIS. The fifth on the card is the

The top weight did a good trial at Feilding on Thursday last, after the final race, and is apparently coming back. Arrow Lad was unlucky both days at Feilding, and with a better share of good fortune he will be difficult to dispose of. Sarchee and Epistle ran well at this fixture also, and of those further down the list those to be re-

spected are Deluge, Imitation. It should be a very interesting race, with backers going strongly for Arrow Lad and Royal Damon. There is a good field of welter horses in the

The top-weight will be suited by the distance* and Tiega revels in this class of race. Horomea appears to have been well taken care of with 9.0, while Bright Knight displayed some speed at Feilding. Further down there are Partaga, Joy Bird, Vigilance and

Epistle, but the most fancied will probably be TIEGA and BRIGHT KNIGHT. The first day’s card will conclude with the WHARITI HANDICAP

'Those at the top of the handicap appear to be better placed than those in the second column, and among the most likely could be mentioned Kalos, Rising Star, Henna, Catkin, Vigilance, Limosa, Atareria and Jemidar. To reduce this list still further backers may be induced to plump for LIMOSA and HENNA.
