Callapat looking ailovet a winner. -He weakened over the last furlong. Fernden finished well ginning-by a neck from Peg Black,: who trtat Statuary by a similar margin. Callapat was:fourth, and Just So handy then coming St. Melba and Roman Pearl. -■-^Eernden was not pleasing his backers at *he^turn, gbut over the last one hundred yards he, displayed plenty of dash.

His was decidedly encouraging in view of. his Auckland Cup engagement, and he •will be all the better for the race. Merry Mint rah-'-a" really good race, and was sticking oh after dropping back a little at the turn. Seatown rattled on well, and First Acre also ran a race which suggests a win for him early in the holiday campaign. Spearmiss-was not suited by the cwrjjej.and she also performed well.

Knfghtlike won at a long price.. Knight-.

like was caught hy the barrier cords ami Lady Quex was slow away. Gold Dawn and Cimabue began best from Llanore and Goshawk. Gold Dawn wus clear at the half-mile . from Lady Quex, then coming Cimabue, Jjlanore, " Goshawk, and Knightlike. Gold Dawn led into the straight from Lady Quex, Cimabue, and Knightlike. Knightlike took the lead at a furlong from home, and, although Cimabue finished well under pressure, he failed by a head to beat Knightlike. Gold Dawn was a length'away third, with' Goshawk fourth, and- Llanoio handy, with Lady Quex well back next. ; Knightlikc's performance, alter being caught at the barrier, was extra good, and; he won well. Cimabue appeared, to be liain^ pered at the turn, and then finished on very strongly with his 9.5. 'Gold Dawn had every chance, and no excuse1 could be offered", for; her.' At the same time she will soon win./ Goshawk ran a great race, even after getting into all kinds of trouble in the nniddle stages. He: is now due. Lady Quex was bustled early after being slow away .from the .barrier. The track conditions :did not suit her. Havering's failure -.could' be ignored. . ;; THE NOLAN CUP. The., Make. Up-Imateagirl bracket was first choice'with backers, the winner, Pompeius, being at good odds, while Chopin was at'double figures for a win. . ilarica Juggle>.:and: Whisogne led out o£ the straight from "Make Up, Chopin,- Austerity, and Dolomite..; ■■■ Marica and Whisogne led down-vtho ".back" from Austerity; Juggle; Make'Upy" Chopin, Dolomite, Latakia, and Skyrider^with Pompeius.-moving up smartJy from-the; rear. ; Whisogne and Marica still led :_at;:.^ke half-mile from Chopin, Make, ..Up, Pbnipeiiis, Austerity, Juggle. Latakia,. find Imateagirl. Pompeius took charge racing for the turn, then, coming Chopin,;; Make. Up, Imateagirl, Latakia, and Skyfider; Pompeius won ■ easily by three lengths '-"from Chopin, -who beat Make Up.Jjy.four lengths. Democratic and Juggle* ■were together next, and then came Skyrider, Latakia, and Dolomite.

Pompeius, suited by the gronnd. finished much too well for this field. He couimenced liis run live furlongs i'roui home, and finished very well. Chopin ran an-, other typically solid race, and he is a good little fellow. Hake Up was always well enough placed, but was not good enough. Democratic came from a long way back to finish fourth. Juggle stuck on really well. Skyrider covered extra ground round the turn. Dolomite was beaten,by his .9.8. I.mateagirl ran just, a fair race. ' WHAREROA HANDICAP. Mitlira was a very pronounced favourite, with Manly a decided second choice.. Manly, Mithra, Orazone, and Rory Moiled out 'tit the straight and down the. back. Manly, and Mithra led Orazohe, Rory Mor, Macroota, Wenday, and Flying Shot, ratii rotmd at the half-mile, and Manly, Mithra,. Macroom, and Flying Shot were in line, well clear of Oraione and Eory Mor at the turn. Orazone headed off the leading bunch a furlong from home, and won comfortably by two lengths from !Rory Mor, who:beat Wenday by .a head. Flying Shot was fourth, and then came Opa, Mint Leaf, and Macroom, with- the "two favourites well in the rear. Orazone, with a track t& sut her, and perfectly ridden ,by li. Reed, won very comfortably.' Eory Mor finished on well, and so did Wenday, who came from some distance back. . Flying Shot, not over judiciously ridden, was a good fourth. Macroom ran a fair race. Manly pulled too -hard in the early part, and might have done better if. he had been allowed to run along. Mithra perfornied badly over, the last -furlong, and possibly the track conditions' beat her. WAIPAPA HACK HANDICAP. Monalofi, Singer, Calamine, and Tenacre were all solidly backed. Monaloff Tenacre, Marjoram, Singer, Reinora, and Calamine led out at barrier rise, and. Monaloff and Tenacre showed the way down the back to Remora, Singer, M;iN joram, and Coalbag. Calamine moved up. smartly at the half-mile, followed by Singer and Monaloff. -■ Corwen ran into the lead going to the turn. Tenacre being cut back. Singer came into the straight first, and in a great finish beat off Calamine by half a length, with Marjoram, who finished well, a head away third and Monaloff and Fortalice .only heads ; ,away next. Coalbag and Corwen wereVthe nest to finish. ". - „ Singer stayed on well, and improved on his Feilding form. Calamine was not too lucky, and Marjoram was even more unfortunate. Monaloff really had every chanoe. Fortalice came from well back,-; and finished just put of a place. Nothing was going better. ' Tenacre lost a winnjrig chance through interference.
