CARD AT BULLS

Rangitikei Spring Meeting McKELVIE MEMORIAL TO-DAY REVIEW OF PROSPECTS i The Rangitikei Racing Club's meet- , ings invariably provide plenty to in- . terest the racegoer as ’.veil as the fol- ; lotver of form, and that set down for to-day is no exception, for many of , the horses engaged will be seen out , during the remainder of the spring j campaign. Thus the form at .Bulls • should be a valuable guide. A splendid natural terrace almost the mH length ol the straight provides an excellent vantage point for , spectators at Bulls, and in addition . there is the grandstand and the re- , <ntly-; nlargca stand for members and officials. The totalisator will be j operated on the single-pool system, , •in i dividends will be in the proper- j lions of 75 and 25 per cent, in Helds t if five or more runneis. A broadcast j description of the running will be given on the course. j The opening event on the pro- ( gramme is the Trial Stakes, for wnich , there were seventeen acceptors. Awapuni stables provide halt the field, and : the best of these may be Fauvette, Manteau and Morababad ta halfbrother by Eulandshar to Old Bill, ■ Quadroon and Florence Mills). VC aver- ■ ley form points strongly to The Smiler, i raced in partnership by his trainer, < F C McHugh, and Mr. L. K. Mcßeth- • Segra come., fre-m the same stable. Tuatara, from the Fordell stable, 1 makes his debut here, and Tne Tryst ■ will carry tiie colours of Mr. F. f. ‘ Xcv. man. a member of the V. anganui s Jockev Club committee. Deflation is 11 fiom the same stable as the Waverley maiden winner. Caution. The favour- I its is fairly certain to be The Smiler. 1 With 11 engaged, the Sandon Hurdles v ill hold a great deal of in- v terest. The lopweignt. Spender, was 1 third to Erebus and Airshot at Wav- < erley. finishing on well, prior to t which he had oeen unplaced at Mar- , ton. Last year he had only one race. 4 unplaced, but the previous season he had two races, including the Hawkes •' Bay Hurdles and the Ngaio _ High- I weight tat TrenthamCuisinier has ( not yet raced aver hurdles but his i trainer J. J- Waller, knows how to get them ready. Du Maurier has good 1 form to commend him to backers, foi ihe has been twice placed in recent t starts including second in the Dir.,’. of Gloucester Cup and third to Dorado j and Golden Memory in the Paiakti Hurdles at the Foxton meeting at I Awapuni. where he is trained by that | master of jumpcis, 1.. Knapp. Golden I, Memory has been placed at each | start this season, and Golden Ridge is , an honest customer. Airshot showed I a lot of pace at Waverley. ami Print-1. ilia may be best of the others. Du i Maurier, Golden Memory and Spender j appeal. • : A useful field of hack sprinteis wilt < contest the Ohakea Hack Handicap. | Hunters Eve. Night Eruption, Puna-1 rua, Pretty Lass. Colincamps. Sir Crusoe. Vascones and Filctto appear ~ to comprise the probables, and of the,” j Night Eruption. Hunter s Eve and I Colincamps may o” best. The amateui liders "ill be in tael saddle fin the Rangitikei Plate, ano interest promises to be keen. Hanovet. i. Donegal, and Eail Colossus make most ; appeal. ... | Tne field for the J. F. Mi Ke.vie , Memorial Handicap may n- smaller, than that raided, out Royal Star 1 1. i Ijvly Montana and Corroboree .shouln plav a prominent part in the contest. | Not for years has thero b/en such an even field of sprinter.- as that' v hieh promises to line up for the Cln- i ton Handicap, included being two I Stewards' Handicap acceptor, in Gay , Chou and Screen Stai. Gay Chou ran : excellent races at Trentham and with ■ ail his weigh' ne will be one of the favourites. Laughing Lass has not, raced recently, but she has been show- ( ing speed on the Awapuni Hacks. Russian Ballet lias been placed at each start this season, winning al Hasting.-, and she is in loin). Screen Star shap- ; ed disappointingly at Waverley on Monday but he meets Race Call at Tins, worse terms. and the figures are i all in favour of the latter, who perhaps | should have won at Waverley. Red Cat was a winner at Bulls last yeai. j and in spite of the fact that she is only , a pony she should go well with het ■ light weight. Sporting Gilt has run I some good races, but Gay Chou, Race j Cail and Rushan Ballet may be best j The large field ol 19 figures on the cord for the Farewell Hack Handicap.: but some defections appear certain. | Red Chief raid Colincamps. who are I hiacketed, claim earlier engagements.: as also do Night Eruption am:. Trevelyn Hold. Brazil, Flying Acie. | Colfort. Regicide, Great Legion, Cau-| tion and Colossal Chief appear to have the best credentials, though if Night: Eruption and White Rajah start t hey ( also will have many friends. Perhaps! Flying Acte, Colfort ami Regicide may , be in demand. The following may be <ll backed in : their respective engagements: Trial Slakes. The Smiler, Morabahad. Deflation. Sandon Hurdle,. Du Maurier. Golden Memory. Spender. Ohakea Hack Handicap. Night Eruption. Hunter’s Eve. Colincamps. R?n"it:k?i Plat*'. Hanover, Donegal. Earl Colossu.'. McKelvie Memoual. Royal Star 11. Lady Montana, Corroboree.
