It is' not surprising,, therefore, that PharLap proved too good for -Amouriis and Nightmarch on ';at; Warwick Farm.' Judging by the sparse'account of tlie race cabled- from' Sydney,-Phar Lap scored very.easily, -while A'mounis put in .that.'electric: finishing! run of his to beat Nightmarch. -Without-attempting to .detract .-: from the , merits of, the wins of Nightmarch last spring in.,- New South Wales', and Victoria,' it has, always been contended, that'ie, met, very", weak fields.: It looks now that he will, have his work cut "out- to ;beai. both Amounis and Phar 'lap at' -Randwickl ;' Chides absence is: tinf brtunate,Sand!it looks "as' if the trouble | reported' last week" may'provel serious.

He is now living up to that idea, for his recent form in Sydney has been good with three wjns on end..

Red Heckle for Great Easter. ; Red Heckle'is due to run in the Great': Easter, according to latest reports. He is a brilliant galloper, 'and over seven furlongs he may be expected to put up a good race. He has plenty of weight, in view: of: the fact that -he has not won a race, sjnee -he captured the Great Northern Derby last season,,but,he,has shown a %flasli'bf form since and his class warrants; no risks being taken with him. About Great Star. . Great- Star' has had a couple offprints during the past week,.and in. each' of them has ygotfe well,' without being, after records. He does not: require 'a severe winding: "up,.; and he looks in capital' condition to repeat his best form. He was second; in. the Great. Easter Handicap; last year, and though, he has more weight to carry now, .he looks a better horse.,.
