Others that had been well in the market just before our las't Australian mail left were Figure, who was regarded as unlucky not to win the Oakleigh Plate a fortnight ago, and Fission, who, though only a recent discovery, has been showing fine form on both racing and training tracks. Others given at least an outside chance are Karunuj, Thracian Belle, Aga Khan, and Fairy House. Among the latest big operations reported were £20,000 secured straight-out Aga Khan, a recent six-furlong winner at; Flemington, and £lO,OOO laid ahout the double Mollison and Mondigga.'' •' ’'
