WANGANUI.

Client’s Form at Feilding—Dusky Eve Shows Up Well—Cruceile to be Taken to Taranaki J.C.’s Christmas Meeting.

WANGANUI, Monday

Client ran a good race the first day at Feilding, but that effort, instead of improving him as was expected, evidently took something out of the son of Elevation, as he did not run nearly so well on the second day. However, he is looking very well, and he is sure to have benefited by the racing last week. He will probably show much improvement at Awapuni, where he will contest the Cup. Isabel, in the same stable, is also engaged in the big money at the Manawatu meeting. Warrawee is looking none the worse for his racing at Feilding, where he ran third each day. He will most likely contest the Dannevirke Handicap, in which he has 7.0, and should run a good race. J. Peachey, who trains Warrawee, also has Bold Boy in work. The lastnamed has had a Mong spell and is very big on it, but appears to be sound.

Dusky Eve ran so well at Feilding that he is expected to be hard to beat, at Woodville. If he is taken north for the Auckland Cup, the son of Signor will probably show that he is not yet a back number. All Cerise did not run up to expectations at Feilding, buti the All Black filly should not be dong in winning another race for T. Long. Tempo did not show the dash expected of him at Feilding in the hurdle races. It looks as if the son of Maniapoto does much better in private than when the colours are up. He was backed very confidently on both days last week. Listowel performed disappointingly at Feilding ,and appears to have temporarily lost his form. However, a few days’ spell will probably freshen the son of Absurd up. Rouen is likely to be a warm favourite for the Oete Handicap at the Woodville meeting. He is expected to show much better form there than he did at Ashhurst, as he has improved in the meanwhile.

The Wanganui horses which competed at Feilding did no good. Warrawee (two thirds) ran consistently, as did also Admyra, which filly is evidently coming back to her best form, and in that case she will only need to keep sound to win a race or two shortly. Cruceile has been in steady work at Waverley since the Laboiir Day meeting, and will be taken to New Plymouth for the Christmas Handicap most likely, though she -is also in the big events at. the Manawatu meeting.
