Fields May Be Easier On Second Day

Prospects at Wanganui Tomorrow

With smaller fields due to be seen in action at Wanganui tomorrow, the lot of the punter may be a very much Hannier one. The principal race is the weight-for-age contest, the Eclipse Stakes, in which the meeting of Toxeuma and Laughing Prince is being eagerly looked forward to. Tho course was in wonderful order yesterday; and the turf should rol! out well for what promises to be a really exciting day’s sport on the concluding day. A little rain will not materially affect the going. First Two-year-old Race Good and all as some of these youngsters may be, they will have to bo embryo Gloamings to win here if they are badly drawn- The parades witnessed to date indicate that several two-year-olds are very forward, notably Curie, Eastertime, Hampden, King Colossus, Sailing, Ecila, Type and Korokio. Reduced to four that are greatly fancied would be included Currie (A. 3-1. Ellis), Korokio (U. Gray), King Colossus, and Sailing, and unless very badly drawn, they may fight out the issue. The final summing up in this and all other races is set out farther on. Gonville Hurdles From all accounts, Avro should have won outright yesterday, instead of being beaten a head by the unlucky Mister Gamp. Royal Acre will be an improved horse, and the shorter journey will suit Make Up, who was not ridden with tho best of judgment on the first da j'. Luminary tipped his rider at tho initial fence the opening day, and he will do better tomorrow, especially as there is a furlong less to encompass. The others are not fancied to any extent, although Nukumai may improve—he was never a possibility tho first day. Spring Hack Autopay is climbing right up in the handicaps, but he is compactly built It appeared as if his rider was caught napping in tile Lurie Hack. Pomp ran well when he had his first race yesterday for nearly a year, and will be dangerous. Zarene, Gowan Lea, Orapai, and Winacre read the best of the remainder. Eclipse Stakes It is a pity that the easy Guineas winner, Glinder, is not engaged, for he would make it exceedingly interest-

Owen Handicap Form points distinctly to Arrow Lad , who ran a fine race yesterday to touched off in the very last stride Freehold is an interesting from the Foi-deil stable. Fern™" ! wmsly wanted a race when he faded in the straight yesterday, and he looks tho real danger to the top-weight Broad Acre is racing more consistently i now, and Te Atiawa’s last two outings have resulted in a win and a second Accra is a possibility on this turning course, and the small field may induce Staghunter to forget that he is not reliable. Limosin ran prominently yesterday and he should not be long in getting into the money. After goirg through the field carefully, one automatically comes back to Arrow Lad and Fernden. The following will be well backed in their engagements tomorrow: Debutante Stakes: KOROKIO CURIE KING COLOSSUS Gonville Hurdles: MAKE UP LUMINARY Spring Hack Handicap;
