Blackhead, Sandy McDonald, Risingham and Martial Dawn, who raced at Woodville last week, will probably be found racing at the Auckland R.C.’s summer meeting. Although he was only successful on one occasion in his eight starts last season, the Auckland Cup candidate Sunart was but twice out of a place, in the Easter and Autumn Handicaps. He ran second in the Hazlett Memorial tio Amythas, second in the North Otago Cup to Swanee River, third in the Waimate Cup to Bon Spec and Radial. His best performance was in the Royal Handicap, a mile and ahalf, at Riccarton, in which he carried 7.10 and was beaten bv a head by Royal Star (6.13) in 2min. 33 4-5 sec. He would only have to reproduce that form to have a chance second to none in the Auckland Cup with his light impost. His victory in the Woodville Handicap has brought him into favour for the Ellerslie race, in which he has been rehandicapped from 6.12 to 7.5.
