.BOUND FOR FLEMINGTON. BY CABLE PRESS ASSOCIATION —COPYRIGHT T , . . MELBOURNE, Oct. 6. a, 1S returning to Melbourne for the Guineas. Wallace Mortlake, Prince Charles and Prince Minim bah are eqmmg for I lennngton. -Night Patrol did tear furlongs m oUf toMa.y, his first garlop m eleven days. (By P.R.F.) The great event of Wednesday at +i! e nice ting in Sydney will be the Craven Plate of 1} miles. There have been some stirring coutests in the past over the 1J mile course at Randwick,, and with Gleaming, Balivmena, Ltivqli Heroic probably, and some of the other weight for age horses engaged in to-morrow’s event a great race is assured. When Cetigne won from Wolatri by a little more than a nose Estland and Desert Gold were in the firing line, and it was_ only a neck that separated Desert Gold, who was fourth from Cetigne. It will also be remembered that the T* mile at Randwick saw Megaphone run Carbine to a head in the then record time of 2min 7sec. When the duel between Gloaming and Beauford . took nlac© the former turned the tables on *the latte* in the Craven Plate. So far Heroic has done all he has been asked to, and if he starts to-morrow a thorough test will be given him, and he will need to put his best foot forward to heat the old champion. •
