WANGANUI NOTES. (Per Press Association.) WANGANUI, March 10. Tamatete, Kinsem, Tukia and Enthusiasm will represent the Fordell stable at Auckland. Tamatete is to run in the All A"ed Stakes at Avondale. Ho has also neen nominated for the Spring Haudicap at the Auckland meeting on the second day, and if he goes on all right anti the weight is considered reasonable, he will be a runner at Ellerslie. Tukia was given a good spell on returning from the Auckland summer meeting, and was only recently put in to work again. It is hoped that site will be back to her best form for the Champagne Stake*. Enthusiasm looks bright and well, and despite her failures at Wanganui, is expected to prove equal to placing another classic or two to her credit. Kinsem was not suited by the going here, but is sure to do better at Ellerslie. W. llayner is working Thespian, Lis*towel and Deluge the reverse way with a view to the Auckland meeting. Thespian looks a picture and is moving in great style. If not overburdened in the Easter he will run a big race. Deluge is also going well and should show to better advantage at Ellerslie than he did here as he- is unquestionably brilliant. Listowel is hitting out well and will probably be a starter in the Champagne Stakes at Ellerslie. Pirouette continues to do good work and shows improvement. This filly should run well in the Oaks at Ellerslie. Explorer is doing good work and will he taken to Opunake. His stable mate. Battle Song, may also be a starter at the meeting, in the Cup. but he had a fall while being schooled over the hurdles yesterday with Gaiety Girl, taking off too soon and injuring his shoulder slightly.
