FORM FOR FEILDING

POINTERS FROM VARIOUS CENTRES With 123 acceptors in eight events, including several with dual engage- : ments. there is every prospect of a 1 clash in i ecent form on the opening ’ day of the Feilding Jockey Club’sj meeting, which will be held today,' I Monday and Tuesday. A number: of the horses were seen in action at the ; Wanganui meeting, but some raced at j | Hastings and others have not been I seen out since the Manawatu meeting l ! and the Taranaki autumn campaign. I | KAWA KAWA HURDLES i Red Glare, topweight in the Kawa ! Kawa Hurdles, finished third to Endurance and Voltaire on the second! | day of the Awapuni meeting, and he is likely to have improved. Authoress | will be making her initial appearance' since last season, when she broke down. Peach King won the Karere i • Hurdles at Awapuni last month, with ■ i Legal second. The Thames-trained ' I Royal Musgo was a winner at Mataj mata earlier in the autumn and also | won at Hastings last Saturday. Blue, i Title has been a consistent place-getter j this season. War Effort dead-heated • I with Ngamutu in a hurdle race at ■ i Taranaki last month. Both Gold Claim ' land Legal have given promising dis-: plays. GOODBEHERE MEMORIAL In the Goodbehere Memorial Alethea ' is set to carry 8.8, which would be well within her compass if she were at the top of her form. She carried 8.6 when ' she won the James Memorial at Masterton. Arco has won three races in succession and on his Hawke’s Bay Cup display the Coronach gelding must | be given an excellent chance to ex- . tend his record at Feilding. Battle ! Dance won over this distance at Awapuni and in spite of his failure at i Wanganui he must be expected to run |a better race on his home course. Fort Royal was fifth in the Wanganui Cup, : in which the unlucky Hulabaloo fin«- , ished third, to follow that up with , fourth in the Earle Stakes. Young J Trent ran good races at Hastings but is also engaged in the Onepuhi Hack. 1 Dileas has not struck the form that ' enabled him to win the Thompson Handicap at Trentham. Severity was at her best during the midsummer racing but failed on the Taranaki circuit. 1 Gold Dale has not won since he scored in a hurdle race at the Stratford New i Year meeting. Dark Morning has shaped well in hack distance’events, and Merry Robin has also been promising in that class. I MANGAONE HANDICAP

I Aiderman, who heads the list in the Mangaone Handicap and also in the : i-ialcombe Handicap, was a winner at V/aveney last spring and scored impressively when he won over seven ’ lurlongs at Trentham in January. He ■ followed that up with a win at. the | Opunake meeting at Hawera in* the autumn, and if in the right mood he would have to be counted on in this company. Langue d’Or has done best over a distance of ground, for which , reason he may find it hard to foot it ■ with the sprinters on Saturday. The race should prove a pipe-opener for the Cup on Monday, specialist won ; both open sprints at Wanganui and I looks like making it three on end with 8.7 in the Feilding sprint. Deprive * has been placed in eleven of fifteen ; istarts this season, including two wins. : | Tribal Night in nine starts this season > has only once been out of a place, his ) last success being i*n the open six at i the Wairarapa New Year meeting. New Deer has rapidly come up from I maiden class to open company and is such a smart customer that his , chances will be highly regarded. Royal - Greek was second to Master Dash at Hastings last Saturday but the company was not strong. Autoscore was a winner at the recent Hawera meeting and was twice placed at Wanganui. Gold Shoes does not often sport silk j but proved herself smart when win-i ning twice earlier in the season. Tintern has been consistent but a win ini this company would be in the nature of a surprise. * OVER SEVEN FURLONGS

Only two of the Mangaone Handicap acceptors figure in the Halcombe Handicap, run over seven furlongs. They are Aiderman and Autoscore, both of whom would be fancied if started here. Saludos has won over distances from seven furlongs to ten, and has also shown ability to run into a place at two miles. He is not badly placed even at 211 b above the minimum. Fortune’s Smile was a winner at Marton over the New Year meeting but has changed stables since then, being a stablemate of Po-Marama. Derryogue has shown consistent form and after winning at Awapuni was twice second at Wanganui, occupying that position behind Financial in the Earle Stakes. Theiolyn was a winner at the Otaki February meeting and was twice placed at Wanganui. Po-Marama won his way out of the maiden class at the Marton New Year meeting and since then has had eight starts, including two wins, to qualify for opening company. He was second in the Flying Handicap at Wanganui and should run out a fast seven. Treasure Tee has been consistent hut some of his wins have been at country meetings Second Sea] won a hack double on the Taranaki midsummer circuit but has yet to prove himself in open company. Lady Nahleen was placed in open company at Trentham, which is generally good form. Duplicity has not been a winner this season. Moderate is resuming after being off the scene since the| spring, and Tussock has nol won since | I ho spring. • GOOD HACK FIELDS The only hack events to-day ale the Onepuhi Hack, over t<-n lui iongs, and the Ongo Hack, over .six furlongs, and the lallei may have lo he rim in <livisions. Of the nine in the Onepuhi Hauk the lopweighl, Young Trent, is also in the Goodbehere Memorial, and Gold Claim is in the hurdle race. Young Trent was a winner at* Hastings a fortnight ago. Tremello also won at Hastings, showing that he Is i back to his best spring form. Kauri ! Queen won over a disance at Awapuni, and Breezealong, after disappointing on the opening day at Wanganui, won et double Ugures on the second day. Tula won her way out of maiden class at the Awapuni .summer meettag and

then won a hack race at Bulls. Greek Chief was also a winner at Awapuni in December but would need to improve. Gojo Claim has run prominently in hurdle races. Broderie won in the spring but has not recently shown piomising form. Mesalliance has tailed to gain a place in half a dozen starts this season. Parneb and Gold Lad share topweight honours in the Ongo Hack so they are in separate divisions if the race is divided Parnell was a winner at Otaki in February and after win- ' ning the first day at Wanganui should I have completed a double but for being I ( lamped for room on the second day., (fold Lad has won three hack races I this season. Amuii won a hack double | al Wniroa aflur scoring in maiden 1 clasi at Woodville. Rosal Iniue won

' hume>siveh al Awapuni a month ago. I r l'lieoci itus von well on the Taranaki ’autumn ciicuil Dutch Mary was a leader all the v.a« when she won al I Woodville and Awapuni In the autumn. Prefa was a winner al, Hastiiigs earlier this month. Hadrian has I shaped promisingly since winning 'early in the spring. Blackwater has : been off the scene since winning in the I spring. Gay Slipper was a winner on I the recent Taranaki autumn circuit, and Winning Ticket scored nt Awa- | puni three weeks ago. Olher winners I engaged include Royal Pilot. Culloden Moor. C;umelit a. Tudor Chief, RockaI nui, Sketch and Dymondy.
