EGMONT’S OPENING DAY

FIELDS APPEAR VERY EVEN • o AGA KHAN AND FIJI FANCIED. 0 r THE TIGER’S GOOD CHANCE. WIN AND PLACE WAGERING. , (By “Hurry On.”) The recent rains should have left the ; ' r Egmont track in splendid order for the opening of the summer meeting to-day. The fields taken all around are fair and it heeds only good weather for the dub to record a successful gathering. The straight-out and place system of totalisator wagering that are proving popular will 'be in vogue and in no race should there only be one dividend. The new Good-Jobson barrier will be used \ for the start of the last face. Proceedings will commence at 12.30 n.m. with the OHAWE HURDLES. Of £7O. One mile and a half. Blacksmith - 10 12 Calamine 9 1 'Xenacre 10 10 Day Lass 9 0 Kimbo 9 7 Inviotus 9 0 Marjoram 9 3 Blacksmith has been somewhat of a disappointment of late but he usually performs well at Hawera. Tenacre is well and the rain will-enhance his prospects. Kimbo has been very consistent and in his last start was a creditable second to Riotous at Ashhurst. Marjoram has not raced since Labour Day and will •bp all the better for an outing. If ?tartcd here Calamine would have an undoubted chance but she may be found contesting the Whareroa Handicap later ■ in the day. Day Lass is a safe jumper but lacks pace, while Invictus has done little to recommend his chance. Probably the most favoured will be KIMBO TENACRE. / ' JUVENILE HANDICAP. • Of £6O. Five furlongs. Fefchitea -8 2 Whaurangi T 5 . 1 ■ Merry .Way . 8 1 Shillong < - >■' Welcome Lu < 1- - -S . Mias Cavendish 7 13 Lady Bent i o No Doubt 7 1» ‘ " Royal Dash 7 9 BOld Baron 7 9 Prince Reno 7 8 Hunting bodge < 0 c - This is the largest field of the day. Peschiera won really well at Waverley - and though he may be in need of a race he should be capable of running promiuently here. Merry Way has been working well enough but seems to just fail with the colours up. Welcome Lu was ■ beaten at a non-totalisator fixture in the. north last week and would require to improve considerably on that showing to win here. . Miss Cavendish was a disappointment during the holidays but may do better on her own track. No Doubt ■ ran a great race at Trentham In October and a reproduction of • that form would make him dangerous. Royal Dash and Prince Reno have both shaped promisingly but none of the ohters has any public form, though Shillong, Icier and Lady Bent have shown pace on the. tracks. This event looks very open. Three that should show up are PRINCE RENO ; ’ ■' PESCHIERA MERRY WAY. ;• ■ EGMONT CUP. ' Of £2OO. One mile and a quarter. •..Richfield 8 to ’ Shrewd 7 3 Viji 8 10 Asa Khan .7 - ’ "Habit 8 5 Lady Spy < 0 • Gibraltar B'3 Monaloff 7 0 Richfield won the Stratford Cup but subsequently failed at Trentham. He has bfeen working well since but it is doubtful if he can account for Fiji at even weights. This son of Nigger Minstrel went a slashing race into third place in ...the Wellington Cup and then at Ashhurst beat all but the improving Brambletom. Habit would be better suited by a shorter distance and claims an engagement later in the day. Gibraltar has been ■ shaping poorly on the track and will l have to do a lot better if he is to succeed here. Shrewd was unlucky at the Napier meeting on Saturday and should do a lot . better in this event. If started Aga Khan would have a great chance. He is a hack well above the ordinary and the opposition is not strong. Lady Spy and Monaloff stay on but would. - appear to be held safe by Aga Khan. Most support may come for AGA KHAN FIJI SHREWD. FLYING HANDICAP. Of £lOO. Six furlongs. r Otipx 9 0 Eastertime 7 0 ’•/ ArvadF 7 7 Trojan Melody 7 0 The Tiger 7 6 Headmaster 7 » Green Linnet 7 5. Lady Quex has been galloping in good stvle but is set a hard task here in attempting to give away from 211 b to 281 b to all her opponents. Arvada faded at < Trentham and on that form The Tiger—on his own track—should hold her safe. Green Linnet has been showing greatly improved form on the track and at her best is good over this distance. There is a possibility that Easter Time may start but he has been trained for a distance. Headmaster is a fair sort of a hack but the company may be too rich for him. Though the field is small the issue is very open but the best backed may be, THE TIGER GREEN LINNET LADY QUEX. . \ NOLAN HANDICAP. Of £lo°- Eight furlongs and a half, uj&a- «5 sse „-.i& si ' * If reserved for this Aga Khan would be entitled to a lot of respect in spite of his weight, as his form at Ellerslie was’first-class. Arikitea usually goes a good race after a short let up and he has not raced during the past month. Both Attentive and Davistock have been pleasing by their recent track efforts and are expected to give good accounts of themselves. Glowlight is a griod littl filly and if ridden patiently in behind is •' sure to take a hand in the finish. Tentcall will probably find the distance too far The favourites will probably be AGA KHAM, (if reserved) , GLOWLIGHT ARIKITEA. WHAREROA HANDICAP. Of £9O. Eight furlongs and, a half. ' z 9 5 Calamine 8 9 La a dy r S py ime s o° Habit also figures in the cup but if ’ che parades for this event she is sure m carry, support. Tenacre will start again but should be held safe by Chief Line whose Trentham form was. good. Lucky Alice has not been impressive ■ on the' track of late but must be given •/•chance on Stratford running. Calamine does not seem to be able to up the finishing dash necessary and Easter Timo has failed too oiten. Lady ’ Spy should go well. Form points to prominent efforts by CHIEF LINE LUCKY ALICE lady SPY. WAIPAPA HACK HANDICAP. . Of ££7o. Seven furlongs. Cereal 8 13 March Alone 7 8 - ■? ‘ Ida Merling S' 6 Queenbeyan >_ 0 & . Davistock 8 5 Tenure ; PSCiowlight 8 1 >'o Humbug .< 0 ’Royal I’apa • 1Cereal is such a good hack that he twill have only to leave the barrier de.centiy to be prominent at the finish. Ida Merling is smart and Davistock may be

ising three-year-olds and the latter has been working really well. The three on the minimum rnake little appeal. Good support should come for CEREAL - MARCH ALONE ROYAL PAPA. MATAMATA RACE MEETING.
