SECOND DAY’S RACING.

The following handicaps were issued last night by Mr Evett Second Winter Welter Handicap. Seven

The curtain will be rung up with the Hunters’ Welter Handicap of 40sovs, one mile, which has a septette engaged. Ida is naturally in the post of honor with 11.10. and I hardly think the 51b extra on her yesterday’s win will stop her, the distance being the same. I do not care for Van Dieman at 11.7, but considering the weights at which Ida and Lottie met in the Ladies’ Bracelet, it is curious to note the difference between them allowed by the handicapper now. In the Ladies’ Bracelet of one mile and a distance Ida carried 11.3 to Lottie’s 10.10, and now Mr Evett makes Lottie meet Ida at a difference of 131 b. Belmont, 10.3, and Lady Belle at the same weight are neither of them badly dealt by, but I shall tip Lottie to win, and Ida and Belmont may be in the other place. The Novel Race of 30 sovs, 1 mile, I will not deal with, and pass on to the

Great Northern Steeplechase of 400 sovs, about three miles and a half. Despite the unfavourable rumours about Mangere that have been current during the last week, I think he will run a great horse, and wherever Norton finishes,l thin k he will finish in front of him. Flukem's running yesterday was not encouraging, to his backers for the Steeplechase, but I shall not desert him, and I expect him to get a place The Taranaki horse Booties, whom I selected to win in last week’s issue, is certain to start at a shorter price than would otherwise have been the case after the victory of Mutiny, who hails from the same part of the colony. For Deceiver and Scaltheen I have already expressed a preference among the outside division, and I shall not go away from my last week’s tip of Bootles, 1 ; Flukem, 2 ; Mangere, 3; with Deceiver and Scaltheen good outsiders. The following is the list of those left in :— Great Northern Steeplechase of 400 sovs, about 3| miles. Norton 12 8 Chester 9 9 Mangerel2 4 Auckland 9 9 Tiriteall 4 Deceiver 9 8 Shillelagh 11 4 Isidore 9 7 Booties IO 8 Manine 9 7 Waterburylo 7 Darebin 9 7 Parnelllo o Nero 9 7 Marechai Neil.... 10 o Despised 9 7 Flukem 9 12 Bombardier .... 9 7 Scaltheen 9 10 The eleven in the Handicap Hurdles

of lOOsovs, one mile and three-quarters, is headed by Kulnine, 11.10. It is hardly probable Mr Rutherford will start his horse after the shaking he got yesterday,

so I will leave him out of my calculation. Waterbury, 10.12, comes next, and I cannot say I care for him, but Belmont 10.7, Mutiny 10.6, and Kapua 10.4 all read well on paper, and it is one of this trio that I look for the winner to come from. To try and place them I shall select Belmont 1, Kapua 2, Mutiny 3. The next event is the Second Winter Welter Handicap of 50 sovs, 7 furlongs, in which sixteen are engaged. Several of those engaged are in other races earlier in the day, so I cannot very well analyse their chances in the absence of the acceptances, but with St. Clements a fresh horse I would as soon stand him as anything, though the distance is a wee bit more than he is partial to, perhaps. St. Kilda and Tulloch may prove to be the hardest to beat of the competitors that will accompany him to the starting post. The meeting will be concluded with the Tally-ho Steeplechase

of lOOsovs, 3 miles, which will have a good deal of light shed on it by the result of the Great Northern Steeplechase. The winner of that incurs no penalty so it will be a sort of ‘recovery’ stakes for those that have tried for the 400 sovs. prize and failed. The distance being half a mile shorter Mr Evett has raised Norton 21b on his G.N. Steeple weight, and Booties is similarly increased. As regards the weights of the horses engaged in the G.N. Steeples the weights are a reflex thereof with an additional run. I shall not venture on a tip pending the decision of the Great Northern Steeplechase.
