The two-year-olds, Sporting Song and Seven Seas were together at the end of two furlongs, rim in 26 4-ssee, doing it comfortably. Lady Diana and Alorelnt finished together at the conclusion of half a mile, which took .)2 l-.isee, both hitting out vorv freely.

Prince Colossus and Lord Va] were both given useful work, without being required to make time. Gay Rose ran her lasl three furlongs in 39sec. She could have done a good deal belter.

Grant’s Opal nml .Billy Boy strode over :i round, but W'it not doing bettor tlian three-quarter pace. Billy Roy, who is carrying more condition than i:snal, may bo given a run at Paeroa on (lie second dav.
