HERE AND THERE

One to Follow.

Basouli, the winner of the Cashmere Plate.at Riccarton, registered a very impressive performance. He was always in a handy position, and he came away from the field without any effort in the last two furlongs. Prior to this race he had never earned any money, but he had done very little racing. He is an Australian-bred four-year-old, whose breeding suggests that he will stay, and after Tuesday's performance there seems little doubt that he will win good races. A Forward Hack.

Few of the hacks engaged at the I'ukuranga Hunt Meeting are likely to be more forward than Sir Kay, who has been kept up to his work since running a good second to Marble King at Te Awamutu ou 28th June. After a long spell Sir Kay was beginning to strike his true form only at the end of last season, when he notched three seconds in five starts, and he may be aii early winner this term.

Glare and Paquito are the Metropolitan favourites, with Carradale, Waterlinc, and In the Shade the second picks, and Chide, Concentrate, and Gwillian G. nest. Gay Crest is in the fourth group.
