Bymai shows good form

Special correspondent Dunedin Bymai went about his work keenly at Wingatui vesterday morning in his final trial for the Hunter Handicap, the third leg of the T.A.B. treble at 'Waimate tomorrow. Bymai ran 800 m in 53.6 s on a slushy sand, the last 600 m in 40.65. He has

thrived since finishing a close third to Waideene and Hejaz at Washdyke. Candyboy, which is preparing for the Winter Cup, and Styline, returned 54s for 800 m and 41s for the last 600 m. Hasuka, which is engaged in the Dominion Handicap, the first leg of the Waimate double, cleared two steeplechase fences in fine style.

Lamplight will miss the Dominion Handicap. She will race next at Riccarton, wnere her main mission will be a $lO,OOO race on the final day. Her trainer, Brian Anderton, is eyeing the New Zealand Cup in November with Lamplight, which excels over the longer distanrpc She added to a useful record in recent weeks when

she came third in the Tally Ho Handicap at Wingatui on Tuesday. Anderton has two likely types of rising two-year-old colts in his team by Native Turn. One is out of Bernadine, the dam of Lovers Dream, Alyssum, and Menuetto. The other is out of Mellay Venture an unraced sister to Bold Mellay.
