Both mo\'ed freely, i Gladynev and Tidal Wave were i not extended to complete seven furlongs in 1.34. Gladynev looks im- ‘ pro\ r ed as the result of his race on j Saturday. Whisper Low, in beating Gold- ; smith, equalled the track rec-ovi of 49s for four furlongs. Sir Romeo beat Adherent and Parodier in 4935. Wilson and John Dory remained together over six furlongs, run in 1.15?. Wilson’s recent form has been disappointing, but he continues to gallop attractiv’ely. Ajax, who looks fit, took 1.1? for 5 furlongs. Pandect moved freely to defeat Dark Felt in 1.11. Maikai drew away in • the last furlong to beat Remarc in I the same time as Ajax, j Apostrophe galloped extra well to ! run a mile in 1.42. Rex Felt strode i over the same ground easily in 1.47, ! Historian requiring 1.55. the last three Jin 38£s. Hathersage recorded 1.47. i It was intended that El Golea should accompany him but the latter would not gallop. At Flemington, the inside grass track was fast today. Aurie’s Star covered six furlongs in 1.161. Carpentier and Darraweit took 1.191. Reading, who looks well, registered [ 1.49 for a mile.

Waxwings was given steady work j and moved freely. Katanga and j Valhalla finished together at the end ; of six furlongs on the tan in I.lßs. A promising three-year-old. Gen- i eral Ha\ r elock. broke a fetlock joint and was destroyed at Mentone to--1 day. ! The absence of True Flight from I the tracks today resulted in rumours ! that all was not well with him, but } his trainer said the horse was fit and I did not need a rousing gallop. He I worked on the roads and then visited ,|the beach. • High Caste was very fit after today’s gallop and he is expected to J put up a great race against Ajax to- ; morrow. Dashing Cavalier arrives I j on Thursday and he may be accomI panied by Nightbeam. -
