Bonnybelle (Tremain) wa« sent half a mile, which she completed in ."iJs. after takinjr 13« for the rirst furlonjj. She k> looking all the better for her racing at Avondale. Knight of Australia ((jiemmell) strode over a round, running the last seven furlongs in 1.42 2-5, and the html six in 1.26 2-, i. Eudorace (Gemmell) reeled otf half a mile in 52 3-.",5, and was doing her work nicely at the end. Mai de Mer (Sargent) completed a round in 1.46 2-5, the last six furlongs taking l.lf>. He was assisted over the last live by Palmint (Gilchrist), who finished in front in 1.5. Avail (Kerr) ami Biitrht Idea (Buchanan) worked la/il.v mer five furlongs, which took 1.11 1-5. Electric Spear (Fearn) covered 11 round in 1.5.1 3-.,. the last seven furlniijlK in 1.40 2-5. nnd the final half-mile in ."ili 4-ss.

Rajanya (Tremain) was going very comfortably throughout six furlongs in 1.26 1-5. This hack looks well,

but is still troubled with soreness. Ringshot (Sargent) did strong work over a round, averaging 15s to the furlong. The two-year-old Che la wiry (Tremain) had Valmint (Murray) ae a companion over three furlongs, the pair finishing together in 38 3-ss. Chelandry has come on a good deal of late. Hot Snot (Fearn) '< and Royal Message (Sergent) covered a round in 1.53 3-5. They ran the last six furlongs in 1.24 '2-5, and the final naif-mile in 555. Both had a bit in reserve. The unnamed Appellant guiding? in H. Rama's stable, who was ridden by t>. Gilchrist, reeled off three furlongs in 30 3-ss. It was hi* first sprint, and he shaped encouragingly. Only for shying halfway down the straight his time would have been better. Shy (Nicholson) i and Marie* Acre (Messervy) completed a round in 1.40 1-5. They increased the speed over the last six furlongs, which took 1.21, the final three being traversed iin 3fi\s.

King Rod (Tremain) did strong work over about a mile and a quarter. .taking 1.28 2-5 for his last six furlongs. On the tan Valspear (Tremain) was timed to run six furlongs in 1.31 1-5. and Norse Lady and Sly Fox were worked separately on the same track, but were not required to go fast. Others doing useful tasks on the sand track were Jayola, Kilonsa, Land Girl and Kelly. Til* Jsmperj. Knigh (abridge (Fergus) was given a trial over the pony hurdles, and after balking at the first attempt shaped satisfactorily. Brown Lap (Fergus) was given a lesson over the same obstacles. He did not impress at first, but later jumped all right. Baldric (O'Connor), after clearing one pony hurdle, was sent over four of the bigger ones, his effort being very encouraging. King Musk (Ritchie) led Kenspeckle (Fergus), lllimani (Xicholson) and Lighter (Watson) over four hurdles, which they cleared safely. King Musk displayed more dash than on former occasions, and although he got in a bit close to the last fence his effort was very promising. Kenspeckle and lllimani also fenced weil.
