Lionheart Is Fit For Foxton Cup

"The Press" Special Service

WELLINGTON, May 15. Two excellent trials at Wanganui this week suggest Lionheart has held the form which helped him to weigh in at 12 of his 14 starts this season and he is a favoured runner for Saturday’s Foxton Cup, the first leg of the double at the Foxton Racing Club’s Winter meeting. Sonare seems sure to improve enough to be the hardest to beat in the Kebbell Memorial, which completes the T.A.B. double. The track is in good order.
