CONDITIONS WERE GOOD AT AWAFUNI YESTERDAY

Horses engaged at the Levin meeting -were given their semi-tinal gallops at Awapuni under ideal conditions. Some -worked on the course proper where the flags were thirty feet out and others on the plough which was slow over the last three furlongs.

Broiefield (G. R. Tattersall) worked over a mile and three furlongs, keeping to fifteen to the furlong for the first mile. Then he was given his head and he came home brilliantly in 38 3-5. Ho has improved a lot during the last week or two.
