In the Manukau Handicap, backers started off by making the Mangereowned Reremai a £230 better favourite than Daytime. Mars was third fancy, and there was good money for Admiral Lock and Loch Moigh. The favourite, although on the limit, was not ’well placed in the first half-mile. Amaris was first to turn for home, but, halfway down the running, Reremai came along with a good run and won by a neck from Loch Moigh, who finished well, with Daytime two lengths away. Amaris was fourth, three-quarters of a length away, followed by Dillon 1 luon, Uncle Bert, and Master Huia. Uramic and Delavan Bill lost a lot of ground at the start and practically took no part in the race. In the Royal Handicap the public went for Seann Triubhais, making him about a £3O better favourite than Appeal, with Great Change an 4 Tamerlane next in request. The little-fancied Floraline was soon in front and stayed there. FMoraline increased his advantage along the back, his nearest attendants being Appeal, Direct Action, Peter Boy, Nourmahal and Miss Lcda. Floraline had no trouble in going on to win by seven lengths from Appeal, who beat Peter Boy by five lengths. Seann Triubhais was half a length away, fourth, followed by Direct Action and Tamerlane. For the Prince of Wales Handicap, the principal event, Machine Gun was the favourite, carrying about £3BO more than Imprint, while Terence Dillon and Harold Thorpe were the next best backed.
