SUNEE DOES IT RIGHT

The roomier track and better going ■at Masterton last week enabled Sunee ■ .to go much-improved races on what he did.at Otaki; and in the C. F. Vallance Handicap on Saturday he for . once did everything right. There was 'hot a great deal of pace, on till the field landed in the straight, but Sunee '.ihen. joined issue with West Tor arid TCorero, with Might challenging from "behind, and in an exciting dash home T Sunee ran on too well for the other two leaders and withstood a claim ; ;irom, Might by a head. j: It 'was Sunee's first win., since the rNew Year. Lately he has been working ' well at Trentham, but he was not reproducing his work in races, and on that account missed a trip north for the Mitchelson Cup at Ellerslie. It is difficult to-pleasure the actual merit of his Saturday's performance, for the race was little better than a sprint home, the mile and a quarter taking 2min 16 4-ssec, slower by over three .seconds than what the highweight field t-required. . Slight and Korero occupied the same .places as on the first day, when they -were beaten by Rona Bay. Might pulled ■hard, nearly all the way with only .Guy Boy behihd him, and when he did " :com« along the outer in the straight ■the pace was'so increased as to set him , a near impossible task. Korero had •charge hair-way down the straight, but '■was then beaten by two heads into •.'third place. '■■ West Tor, who ran up to the leader Werohia on the home Junvjost weakened pat-on the money.,

Gay Boy went ungenerously, and Werohia was in trouble as soon as the pace was increased.
