Absolum’s team was content with pacing and cantering. Coromandel left three-quarters of a mile behind in lm. 21 3-ss. Pohutu bolted away from the ancient Land-

lock in a circle in the good time of Im. 525. Star Rose and Dunborve finished together in front of Advocate over nine furlongs in Im. 57 4-ss. Manapouri, with Mark Ryan in the saddle, acquitted himself with credit over six furlongs in Im. 22 2-ss, but could have improved the time. Dainty and the two-year-old Hyperian brushed over three furlongs in 41 3-ss'. Epsom Lass and another completed six furlongs in Im. 235., with little to choose between the pair.
