6-4 On Favourite Sundale (Summertime—Rata Marie), the 6-4 on favourite, was far too strong for the opposition in the Terrace Handicap, winning by half a length from Red Morn, with Card Trick a short half-head away third. Astound (Fox Myth—Land Queen) ran a fine trial for next month’s Rrisbane Cup when he raced home for an easy win in the Koorlong Handicap.
