CENTREPOISE PLEASES

NIZAM'S DASHING SPRINT

An impressive gallop by Centrepoise and Landveyor, two Mitchelson Cup candidates. was one of the features of the final gallops at Ellerslie this morning, when the pair worked over a round on the course proper in 2.7 4-5. Mansura, another Mitchelson Cup horse, began with them, but soon tailed off and finished 4s behind. Centrepoise and Landveyor kept together all the 'way, and Landveyor, which carried the lighter weight, just shaded his companion at the end. it was a first-rate trial, the gallop being clone on the course proper, with the poles 40ft out. The pair ran the last seven furlongs ill 1.32 2-5 and the final halfmile in f>2 2-ss. W. Hooton was on Landveyor and A. Jenkins on Centrepoise.
