The inside of the trial grass was available lor the remainder. On the course proper, Sovereign Lady and Disdain ran nine furlongs in 1.53. Sovereign Lady led her stable mate throughout. It was the first time Disdain had been sont over a distance of ground and, although she was not put to a serious test, her work was satisfactory. Trench Fight showed a marked imErovement on his gallop of Thursday y keeping Wild Chase up to his work over the final stages of a mile run in 1.42, the first half taking 49 3-ss. Wild Chase again went exceptionally well and held the upper hand throughout. Winning Itival was given air easy five furlongs and Counterblast did similar work. Klnnoull Oontinues Sound Kinnoull was going better than Capo Gabo at the end of a mile in 1.45. The former pulled up sound and may be deoendeu upon again to have a profitable trip to Trentliani. -Flame Queen and Recollection finished abreast at the end of seven furlongs in 1.32. Redolent led a working gallop over a mile. Defaulter was going easily in front of Waitaka and Nightdress, to cover a mile in 1.45 3-5, the first half in 50 3-ss. Defaulter could substantially have reduced these figures. Grey Honour and Rebel Star finished together, well clear of Phalanx, over six furlongs in 1.17 3-5, the last halfmile in 53 3-ss.
