The weather was fine on Saturday morning and the track was in capital order, but a •-majority of the horses were restricted to light work. The Cup candidate, Sir Solo, was the first to strip and he was sent once round at a strong gallop, finishing up his task pleasingly. Gipsy Belle finished a long way ahead of Yemphs over a fast half-mile. The best gallop of the morning was that put up by Stepney, • accompanied by Pavlova. Stepney got a flying start from the four furlong post and together the pair hung, Stepney drawing away from his stable mate and finishing half a length in front. The time for the journey was 49sec. Arualce went twice round at a sound pace, as did also Square Deal,, Sylvania and Brunswick. Others- treated to light work were Allegation, Tiresome, Aratiatia, Historiette, His Eminence, Ruffj%_ Los Angelos, Canute, Sweet Van, Emperador, Bandiera and others.
