The first horses to be speeded up -wore Currajong, Hauwai and Callamart, and they wore sent along over seven furlongs. Beginning smartly , Currajong took up the rolo of pacemaker. Hauwai and Callamart were never far away and they were on terms with the leader at the some turn. In a good finish Hauwai did best to lead from Callamart at the post, though there was little in it. The time was 1.39, the last five taking 1.10. Callamart is engaged in the Century Hurdles and .he should be in good fettle on Thursday. Senegal (W. «T. Broughton) had Tudor (R. Reed) as a companion over seven fnrlongs. Senegal hopped away at the seven furlong peg and was picked up by Tudor short of the six. They ■were together for the rest of the way, Senegal , who finished easily, .cutting the distanco out in 1.36.
