That will be to-the liking of a good many in the field, which have been troubled by the hard going lately. Gauntlet and Nukuatu, as well as Craddock, are bound to appreciate the esaier footing. Wakatere. the top weight, with 9-3, is in fine form for the second leg. the Mount Eden Handicap. He is favourably placed as well with No. 5 at the start.
