Knight of Australia was the first out, and ran seven furlongs in 1.41, the first three in 0.44 1-5 and the first halfmile in 0.5?. This horse is m good order for his engagements at Avondale.

Tybalt did the best mile of the morning, taking 1.51, the first half in 0.53 3AT AVONDALE At Avondale the course proper was in use 50 feet out, and the going was on the heavy side. The Cup candidates Catalogue (McDonald) and Cerne Abbas were the first to work, being sent over six furlongs. They ran the first three in 0.41 1-5 and the full distance in 1.21 4-5. Catalogue was holding his companion easily at the finish, and his effort was a really good one, as he carried fully a stone more than his cup weight. Cerne Abbas had the outside running, and her effort was satisfactory. Solo Song was going nicely at the end of half a mile, which took 0.54 2-5. This hack looks in nice' order. Royal Chief and Protector came home from the half-mile post in 0.53 4-5. They both worked well, the two-year-old being a shade in front, though Royal Chief could have done a good deal better. Ballymoney, Enge, and Mungatoon completed a mile in 1.52, the last six furlongs in 1.24 2-5, and the final four furlongs in 0.57 2-5. Enge, who handled the heavy going well, was half a dozen lengths in front. Maori Song and Lagoon got to the end of six furlongs in 1.21 2-5. They ran the first three furlongs in 0.40 2-5, and Maori Song was well clear at the end. Miss Brierly was in front of Kingcraft at the conclusion of three furlongs, which took 0.39 4-5. Both youngsters shaped well, but Kingcraft, who is a particularly long strider, was handicapped by the going. Fersen and Boomerang traversed seven furlongs in 1.36 3-5, the first halfmile taking 0.54. Fersen put plenty of dash into his task, and was in front at the end. Alyth reeled off five furlongs in 1.7 3-5. It was a good effort, and she went very freely. Golden Blonde just shaded Armacourt at the conclusion of a similar distance, which occupied 1.8. They had a bit in reserve at the finish.

The two-year-olds, Wynardo, Jean Quex and Native Song, were bunched at the end of three furlongs, run in 0.40 1-5. Native Song, who was on the outside, impressed most. In a similar task Phildale and Eastern Heir took 0.40 2-5, there being little between them at the finish. Silver Cloud trotted once round and ran down the straight at a good half pace. Master Brierly finished in front of Maine at the end of a mile, which took 1.56. Nelumbo was given a run from the five-furlong post, but was not timed. Velocipede, Triune, and Airam were bunched at the conclusion of five furlongs in 1.12 2-5, the trio being under a strong hold at the finish.
