Vwell placed, on 12yds, and Neeoro will race .better over this journey than inthe twomile event. Red Shadow raced particularity well op the course at'the-club's last '.meeting, and Eollo is at home over the : distance. It looks as though the hardest to beat will be Red Shadow and Manor -■/End; -■. / v • . • : . ■•■;-. .-: .' . ■ '.; Horses "who should run prominently in ■- the other events named are;—Bayfield Handicap:,,Kilbirnie Ban and Todd Lonzia. -Domaiar;,Handicap: Kelson Guy and Bracken.
