Hunting Camp, Ringlight and Cheval de Bataille and a smart half-mile by Powys were features of the gallops at Te Rapa this morning. The poles were 55ft out from the rails, and the going was first-class. Bramble Song was doing better than Aguilo at the completion of six furlongs in 1.20 3-5. The first two furlongs were run ill 25 1-os. Air Pier, who is bearing a healthy appearance, shaded Leigh Hark over the concluding stages of seven furlongs in 1.34 1-5. 'lliey ran the first three in 3Gy 2 s and the halfmile in 51 1-os. It was a good effort and the best of the morning over the distance. There was little between Home Again and Bold Tide at the end of seven furlong 6 in 1.3754. Hunting Loch ran six furlongs in 1.25. Neenah and Fortune's Smile went well over six furlongs in 1.20 2-5.

Kouraeka and Forest Glen covered a mile and a-quarter in 2.22, the first seven furlongs in 1.3554- Kouraeka was going the better at the end. Forest Glen is an acceptor for the Waikato Saturday, but would have to improve uptfn his track form to have much chance. . Recipient and Gunman ran half a mile in 53 1 -ss. Ringljght, who is looking well, shaded Cheval de Bataille at the completion of six furlongs in 1.19. They ran the first thre« in 395.
