Sir Fox, Thumbs Up, Skyette and Theatre missed the jump out, the early leader being Vera Lynu, from Solver and Hamish, Sports Flash and Viking Path.

Royal Son was another half length back, just in front of Hamish. Gulf Stream Beat Financial. Gulf Stream took charge running to the three in the Guineas and although Royal Heir and Magnus Lux were with him at the home turn, Gulf Stream drew away and it was left to Financial to issue the only challenge, Gulf Stream winning by a neck. Greek Art, Royal Heir and Gulf Stream led into the back from Carnforth, Financial and Pallelle. Greek Art dropped back at tno homo turn

where Financial went up to take on Gulf Stream, the pair finishing well clear of Linbury and Magnus Lux. Punters “Off the Mark."

Ring Scarf, Ozel, Hunting Comet, Leisurely, Matawene, Valconia, Toora Vale and Royal Greek was the order as they ran to the straight and Ozel turned for home well clear.

Tho Higgle Handicap was won by the Wairoa-trained gelding, Aqueduct, from Alexcelia and Crucible, the winner's margin being decisive.

The order into the back stretch was Aqueduct and Amigo, from Vivid Night, Crucible, Flying Hawk, Noble Fox and Nighean and Sanction. There was little exchange to the straight except that Aqueduct was clear of Amigo. Out on the better going, Aqueduct went on to a throe-length victory from Alexcelia, which finished with a rattle to cut Crucible out of second money. Flying Hawk was a close fourth and next home were Sanction, Full Hand and Night Ray. Sovereign Lad Beats Flahuluk. The Moutoa Hack Handicap was won by Sovereign Lad from the same stable as Borak.

Prince Plato, Lady Acora, Flying Ace, Paymaster, Sir Bradbury, Ring Chief and Whackie was the order at the three but Sir Bradbury and Flying Ace were first into the straight. Whackie issued his challenge at the distance and although he was closing on Flying Ace at the finish, Flying Aco got to the line a head to the good.
