Jehu, from whom much was expected, has gone out of favour. , . , Iranui holds pride of place in the Connolly Handicap- sv'oodhey. Sir Tristram, Bliss and Kiiosteiu are a quartette that should run creditably, os they have all proved that they can negotiate a race of this distance. The winner will take some finding. ",
