RICCARTON REHEARSAL BANKS PENINSULA FORM NEW ZEALAND CUP HORSES Large fields provided good sport at the Banks Peninsula Racing Club’s meeting on Saturday, writes the special correspondent of the Evening Post. The weather was delightful. In the Okains Trial Stakes Debce was soon in front, from Owlsgleam, Azevedo, Wino, Capital, Gas Mask and Anvil. When the straight was reached Azevedo retired and Wino got up to beat Owlsgleam by half a head, with Capital a neck away. Hostis, from P. V. Mason’s stable, ran a great race to be fourth, as he was last away. The winner is an improving four-year-old. Owlsgleam will be good later on. The favourite, Orris, began moderately and was knocked back earlyMonastic Easily Silver Step soon headed Hounslow m the Kai tuna Highweight Handicap. Cottingham and Chidden being next, and Monastic joining in five furlongs from home. Silver Step was beaten when the .straight was reached. Monastic then took charge and won easily, Chidden outstaying Cottingham for second. Monastic is in his best form and may be hard to beat in brush hurdle events at Riccarton. Chidden stays well and is ar. Oaks prospect. Line for New Zealand Cup Tout le Monde .soon took charge in the J. I'. Buchanan Memorial Handicap. Some Shamble followed him out of the straight, with Variant and Sweet Agnes heading the others, Ranelagh being last. At the far turn Tout le Monde was joined by Some Shamble and Argentic went up to Sweet Agnes at the head of the others, with Polydora and Cough next. Tout le Monde retired a little further on, finishing last. Some Shamble led Argentic to the straight, with Polydora being half a length away. Then came .Silver Sight, staying on well, followed by Cough, who ran her best race of the season. Sweet Agnes was next, bijt tiring. Then came Variant, who is not ready yet. Southdown being next, just in front of Ranelagh. The winner a New Zealand Cup candidate, has run several good races this season. Argentic was staying on, and so was Polydora, and the.se two also drew attention to their New Zealand Cup prospects. Argentic was sore after the race, but his trainer was not worried about itIceni set the pace in the Halswell Hack Handicap, with Elba nor, Thea- ' tin, Cup - Bearer and Gold Cross handy. Gold Cross and Cup Bearer dropped back after two furlongs, where Tuirau moved up. Iceni ran wide at the entrance to the straight and Tuirau shot through to win easily. Knock Out came with a late run. to get second, a good performance, as she went off slowly. Elbanor tired into third place. Invoice and Cheap Money were next, then Theatin, who stopped badly. The winner is an improving hack, but Knock Out looks good. Sam Smith in Form Grecian Prince rushed to the front in the Le Bons Handicap, Cranford, Gaysome, Night Recital, Quietly and Fairway following him to the straight. Grecian Prince then collapsed and Sam Smith came with a brilliant run to snatch a win from Quietly, who had Cranford beaten fifty yards from the post. Sam Smith looks a great prospect for open races after he ha.s taken on the Spring Plate at Riccarton. In the Brackenfield Handicap Rebel Chief soon headed Golden Dart, with Marquillo, Top Rank and Bella Rosa next, Heather Glow joining in at the half-mile post. Marquillo then retired and Golden Dart drifted back in the straight. Rebel Chief won as he liked, and. Bella Rosa, a solid four-year-old mare by Jericho', outstayed Top Rank for second. Maroha, Earthquake and Golden Dart followed at intervals. The winner’s form was an improvement on Rangiora, where he failed to stay. Streamline ran a creditable race after being chopped out at the start.
