Vigne, who led the field home in the Rosehill Cup, is engaged in the Metropolitan with 7.6, or 91b less than he carried on Saturday. As he ran the eleven furlongs in a course record and won by five lengths his prospects for the big Randwick event would appear bright. Veilmond was carrying 21b more than his weight for tho Metropolitan and Concentrate 41b more. On this form neither would appear to have a great chance of reversing positions with Vigne, though the extra two furlongs may be in their favour. Autopay proved himself a first-class sprinter in the Dominion last year, winning among other races the Stewards’ Handicap at Riccarton and the City Handicap at Trenthain, Burracootboo, who finished second to the New Zealander, is a full brother to Goshawk. He is regarded as a particularly promising horse.
