Munga Tangi (L. Laver) worked two miles, but was not after time. He did well during his let-up and. should sodn. bo ready tor fast work, Kewpie'ss? Bingen, who recently joined Laver's stable, was allotted strong unhoppled work. He looks improved for his race last month. Canadian (C= M.

Mahoney) and Fisher (A. Paton) were given sound unhoppled work. Post Haste is thriving and may race well at Thames. Fisher is in good form, and has been 'entered for the second day of the Wanganui Trotting Club's Meeting. The Ringtrue—lntaglio colt in W.
