Lord Manna Should Be At Short Price in Hawke's Bay Cup

Carrying a stake of £l3OO, the Hawkes x>ay Cup this axternoon win oe the last of the big autumn handicaps in this half of tne Nortn island, for which reason tnere will be considerate interest in tne Hastings fixture, wnich opens today ana will be concluded next Saturday. r urtner, there is a clash of recent form as some northern horses are engaged. .Lora Manna, topweight tor the Hawkes Bay cup, is tne log.cal favourite, and m spice ot his 9.u ne is expected to extend still funner his winning sequence of seven in succession. So tar ne has not been seriously extended, in spite ot the cainne of tne opposition in the rres.aeni s cap at trenmam and m tne Awapuni taoid w. j. tsrouginon pnoteu him in n.s last three wino, out trainer R. .vieyneil wiu be in tue saddle today, laird Manna will prooao.y oe at a short pr.ee. Tne fact that the connections ol Barrage nave eiecteu io p.i ui e npira, geiaoig agnuist Bora .vimuia uiat tiie chances 01 Barrage aie viewed with optimism, ne wv.i me presidents Handicap at Levin anu, auei tailing to handle tne sou gomg al leiiomg, tne Autumn naiimcap at 1 auneieuixau, so ne lias good recent form. uay Stroller is another recent winner, navmg sprung a surprise in tne tioouoeneic .uemui.ai at reuauig ias. Mouuay. rx ne runs genet ou-.y ne is capable ot marnng ms presence felt. /.anting Rua was a winner at Eilersne last motUn anu nas oeea consistent over distances a nttie snorter than the eleven xunongs o. tuuay - race. Boyal Bian was the Feilding Cup winner last Saturday and has a nig pua in tne weights over nora manna, but it is dimcuit to see mm neat,ng the topwe.gnr. Avenger nas been showing improvement anu was placed in both his essays at r eilumg last weex-ena. ine distance should not trouo.e him as he has been Knocxing at the door even over a mile anu a-hali. Ot the trio lower uown bun Burn has been in the meney in tour recent starts, but any ox these three ‘ should be at long prices. Best prospects ot a place behind i Lord Manna may be herd by Loyal I Bian and Barrage. merry Bing, a winner at Feilding last Saturday, is topweignt tor the open sprint, tne Haveiocx Flying, ana in spite ot his xai.ure m tne Denb.gn Handicap last Monday he will make a strong appeal. Co.-case generally runs goou races on the course, and General Menteitn was a recent winner at Rotorua. Good form is also held by tommy Gun, Bolivar and Master Rich, but the tavountes should come from the tno at the top ot this handicap. Provision for divisions has been made in the Autumn Hack Handicap . (five over!, the Poukawu staxe(three over) and the Oreka Handicapj (two over), but scratchings may avoid ‘ this necessity as there are several, dual engagements. The track is reported to be in ex- j cellent order and the going should be ■ firm. i Horses likely to be fancied include:- ; Riverslea Hack Handicap—Omaio, In-; cision, Il Corona.
