The Mariri Hack Steeples saw High Heather, Royal Reign and Gaswyn lead early from Town Beauty, Hard Gold and Valves. A mile from home Royal Reign took charge, and was followed to the straight by Okapua, who wore him down to win by three-quarters of a length, with Town Beauty six lengths away. Then came Hard Cold and Valves. The raca provided a fine display of jumping. A Hot Favourite. Foreign Queen was a hot favourite for the Trial Plate. She led out from Ida Mcrling and Sham light, and the order was unchanged throughout, the favourite winning with ridiculous case by live lengths. Araios was fourth most of the- way, but failed in the last few strides, Ta'kakua and Irish Chieftain heading him. Left and Then Won.
