FINAL GALLOPS AT AWAPUNI

• — 1 . • ^ platfokm; and royal duce I PLEASE Although there was nofhing outstanding in the final gallops at Awapuni yesterday morning, eandidates who worked pieasingly under the conditions were Platform, Iioyal Duce, Indian Sport, Silver Ball, Mesalliance and Revetir. The course proper, with,' the pegs out 30ft., was open for fast work, . but overnight rain had made the going sloppy. A noted trackworker, Sir Bradbury (Harris) set the main among the sprinters by reeling ofli five furlongs in 1.10. He makes a definite noise and is an unreliable proposition in races. Ramicourt (Morris) was much too good for Persuade (Bagby) over six furiougs, the last tive being run in 1.13 4-5. The' f ormer could have considerably reduoed this time." Kauri Queen (Tempertou) | handled the going we'll 'to sprint lialf a ; mile in 56 2-5sec. Winning Ticket (Boreham) beat Tahli (Sellars) over, the samo ground in 56 3 5sec. Red Glare (Saunders) strode out1 f reely over a milo and a quartcr, the ; last five furlongs taking 1.16. Dileas | (Amey) and Skilled (Bowness) were ; Xjaired over five furlongs, finishing on, terms in 1.11. Mesalliance (Brough- j ton) completed seven attractively in ! 1.43, He* looks all tlio better for hisrace last %eek and should go close to j opening. his .account on Saturday. Blue ! Moon (Bagby) was travelling comfort- j ably alongsido -Ernbrae (Dent) at the! Conelusion of five furlongs in 1.13 2-5. NeWel Post (Clutterbuck) and Broiefield (Sellars) were botli being kickedi up to run five furlongs in 1.11 8-5. Indian Sport Beats Irish Fox Ilevelliiig in the going, Indian Sport (Markwick) easily accounted for Irish Fox .(Rennison) over a uiilo in 1.57,! which was not bettered during the; morning;. Silver. Ball (Pearce), iligh-i land View "(Clutterbuck) and Bournemouth: (Markwick) wero iu that order; at the- finish of half a mile in 56 l-5sec. Silver Ball ' again worked attractively and is a definitb improver. Shepherd'sj Mate (Pagan) atrode over five furlongs j in 1.10.. Gold. Money Song (Andrews) ! worked in his usual free style over a | mile, tlie last five furlongs occupyiug 1.13 -1:5. Lord Holland (Broughton) impressed more than King's Sceptre j (Clutterbuck) over half a mile in 57 2-5sec. The former is a promising juvenile by Churles Fox and is to make i his debut in the Trial Plate. A favoured candidatc for the Trial )Plate, the two-year-old Perfect Peace (Bagb}') was let off with u sliort sprint 1 down the straight. Singing Hills (Markwick) was being kicked up to ! stay with Platform (Bagby) over the concluding stages of a mile run in 1.59 3-5. Platform gaincd friends by thc i easy manner in which he accomplislied ! his tusk and the going should favour ! his chances to-morrow. Aftcr going fast early, Blue Chips (Buchanan) avus , stopping at tlie end of six furlongs in 1 1.26. Revetir (Sellars), Blackwater; (Broughton) and Tula (Saunders) finislied in ; tliat order at the completion of seven furlongs in 3.43. The first- - papied., ,^ape4,l(^lly, , ppuR} j have done better. Air Ace in Porm Air Ace (Mackie) linished too well for- Abbey Pay (Bagby) and beat him comfortabiy over five furlongs iu 1.13 1-5. The southerner is at the top of his form and should prove difficult to beat , in the sprint. Bay Robe (Sellars) and; Blanket (Broiighton) were evenly xnatched over a mile run in 3.57 3-5.! Incision (Pearce) beat Czarina (Buch-' anaii) and Donegal Bay (l?out) over six furlongs in 1.27. Royal Duce (Bagby), under -a good hold, and Queen 's Cliarra

(Pearce) covered seven furlongs in 1.45. Royal Duce has worked exceptionally well during tiro week aud is likely to give a good account of himself in the Manawatu Handicap. Omaio went pieasingly to easily account fbr King's Ransom (Pearce) over half a mile in 5.Ssec. Boloyna (O'Neill) took 1.17 for five furlongs. Prince Wanaka (Broughton) finished two leugths aliead of Itockanui (Uollins) over six furlongs in 1.30 2-5. Huiabaloo (RouO rau livo furlongs in 1.12 3-5, tho last three taking 42see. Beau Revo (Markwick) and a companion sprinted three furlongs - in 44 l-5sec. United Xations (Bagby) was keen to go faster in an easy tusk over six furlongs. She looks partieularly Avell and may give an improved shoAving on Saturday. Indian Sign worked freely over u couple of cirruits at three-quartor pace. Ho should be a strong contender for tho July Steeplechase. The Jumpers Phalaria (Chaplin) and Golden Tide (Andrews) were associated in a bout over fou r steeplechase fences on Ihe outside of the course proper. Phalaria jumped in dashing style and gained ground on liis companion at cvcry feii'-e. Golden Tide was safe and wa*s finishing the better. Although she did not put much dasli into her work, Authoress (Chaplin) cleared 11 fences without mistake. Tideover (Paul) and Night Prince (Walther) went oiice rouud over the country, tlie former giving the better displav to be always well ciear. Gay Rouen (Andrews) and Penwilt (Bowry) were rc.sponsible for a sound exliibition over 12 steeplechase fences on the innerF , .Sheplierd's' Mate* (Fagun) cleared; 'acouple of hurdles in good style.
