SPRING MEETING PROGRAMME.

I POSSIBILITIES FOR TO-DAY.

(By

"Hurry On.”)

' The Masterton Racing Club's spring 'meeting takes placb to-day and in view of the forthcoming big meeting at Trentham the form displayed may prove interesting. 1 The first race on the programme is the

Mister Quex, who downed the muchboomed Pillow Fight at Napier, is sure to come in for heavy support, but La Moderne, who was second to Tankard at Ellerslie, and Prince Pombal are improvers and may go well.

Full Mark's form at Otaki entitles him to a lot of respect, but a couple of newcomers in Royal Game and Dainty Ways will go well. Appledore is a possibility. MAIDEN STAKES. Kilstar Azure Red Sun Aralos ~ — Cottesmore Bright Song Foulwind Chief C-lcrk Maurosla Emotion Zsphyrus Aperture Lyrical Kalinuk Beacon Fire i £a Parleuse Acorn Very few of these have any public performances, 'but Zephyrus, Lyrical, Cottesmore and Acorn have been going well on the track at Trentham.

The Sun went well over seven furlongs at Trentham on Thursday and should show up, but if Eminent acts up to his track form he will take a lot of beating. Flower is improving every race.

' If Kahikatoa is going to win at Trentham he should be capable of going a great race- here, but he may be troubled by the improving Spearful and Ephialtes.

Ben Hurs great finishing effort at Wanganui is certain to assure him of sPlid Support here, and the Hymestra gelding is a good sort. Jolmeen loOks t'he best of the rest. GRANDSTAND HANDICAP.

Otaki form points to Royal Routine again running well, but Tobaccoland is galloping well and Malayan is. expected to go a good race.

' Chief Cook won easily at Napier and is a good sort of hack, but over this distance may find Miladi and Acis hard to head off.
