The grass track was open at Epsom this morning and all trials were executed on the outside of the course proper. Features of the morning was the impressive work of Realty and Jewel Pointer. Captain Bolt and Wiriwhata were first out, and Wiriwhata finished in front over a mile and a na" in 3.52, the last halfmile in 1.14. Wiriwhata worked very pleasingly. Munga Tangi and Direct Line were companions in a mile and a quarter task, registering 3.14 3-5, the last half-mile in 1.14 4-5. Jumping off at the mile and a quarter post Free Logan worked very freely to register 2.59 for the distance, the last half in 1.9. Mattie Herbilwyn, Autumn Lu and. Nelson Pirate went away 3s in front of Moko Girl over a mile and a half, but it was not a good workout, as all made mistakes. Moko Girl went 3.49 3-5, the last half-mile in 1.12. She was not doing her best at the finish. Nelson Luvan and Worthy Chief woi'ked together over a mile and a quarter, Nelson Luvan finishing in front in 3.2, the last half in 1.11 4-5. " Auto Machine was allotted strong work on the dirt track, and was timed to cover the last half-mile of his work in 1.10. Realty, Kewpie's Triumph and Jewel Pointer went away at Is intervals from the mile and a half, and the trio were on terms all the way, Realty finishing half a length in front of Jewel Pointer, with Kewpie's Triumph a couple of lengths away. Realty took 3.35 2-5, the last half in 1.8 3-5, while Jewel Pointer registered 3.33 3-5, the last half in 1.9. Both Realty and Jewel Pointer worked impressively. Cimarron was to have gone a mile and a half with the above horses, but failed to begin, and was pulled up. Timed over a mile he recorded 2.26, the last half-mile in 1.10 3-5. Nellota finished half a length in front of Kewpie's Crest over a mile and a quarter in 3.9. Nelson Glory, Manna's Son and Star Pronto went away at 3s intervals from the mile and a half post, and after going a quarter were joined by Worthy Cause. Worthy Cause was in front practically all the way, and although headed by Star Pronto into the straight, came again and just beat Star vronto on the post. Worthy Cause came the last half in 1.10 2-5, while Star Pronto returned 3.44 1-5 for the full journey, the last half in 1.10. Manna's Son was not bustled at any stage to register 3.49. RED FRONTIER REAPPEARS. Red Frontier made his reappearance when he contested the Introductory Handicap at the Waikato meeting on Saturday, but the chestnut gelding failed to gain a place. He had not raced since he fell both starts at the Tc Aroha meeting last April. On Saturday he began smartly and quickly ran into a leading position, but after the field had gone just about a mile his condition began to give out and he finished well back. Red Frontier looked as if the race would do him a lot of good and he may yet live up to the promise he displayed on the training track at Epsom.
