EGMONT R.C. SUMMER MEETING

The Summer Meeting of the Egmont Club opens next Wednesday, 11th inst., and will be concluded the following day, Thursday. As acceptances are not due till to-day I am in the dark as to what will form the runners for the four leading races. The latest I can gathei about Fabulist is that he will attend the meeting, in which case he must be hard to beat in the Cup, even with 9.2. Since her Riccarton win Lady Zetland’s chance does not look too well, for she has been penalised, so that her weight stands at 9.5. Brooklet at 8.7 cannot be said to be out of it, but Dreamland is, 1 fancy, a light of the past. At 7.9 Anita must be considered well in. Her Auckland Cup proved her staying power, and her run last Saturday under 8.0 at Takapuna showed she is more than a feather-weight racer. Should she si art, I like her as well as anything in the race, and the only other I have a fancy for is Monte Carlo. For a trio I like Fabulist, Anita, and Monte Cablo, and the acceptances may enable readers to pick out one. In the Flying old Workman would give them all rats with 9.5, but I have no idea as to whether he has stood his preparation. I like Prioress and Tne Miser as well as anything. The First Hurdles should rest between Dante and Lord Viviar?.
