Others to work well inclu-, ded the second leg candidate, Lady Branksome, and the Sire’s Produce Stakes runner, Classic Mission. On the plough, Silver Blue

and Minstrel ran six furlongs in Imin 18 4-ssec, the final three under a hold in 39 3-5 sec. Josie Glow and Palpatate ran six furlongs in Imin 17 2-ssec, the final three in 37 4-ssec.
