Finish First and Second ' ■ Tke bracketed horses from the | Wright stable were a strong fancy for the Stecplecliase and they fought om the issue, Northfield finishing too well for liigh Morale, and winning by the best part of a length. Phalaria was in second plaee lialf a mile from liome but he fiuished in third plaee 15 lengths away from the second lyorso. lt was after the stand double the second timo that lligh Morale and Northfield went to the front. Glen Severn, Phalaria. Carthage, Light Tea and Tiroroa were prominent at that stage but with the pace on lligh Morale, Northfield and Phalaria soon drew away. Light Tea was fourth. Mokonui was pulled in. Easy for Air Pier The lirst Trial Stnkes proved the besi of good things for Air Pier who. after atteuding Sabulum at the half mile, went to the front and won easily by two lengths. Matara was in second plaee at the liome turn ahead of Sabulum, Grand Central and -Polljix and. he beat the fast-linishing Grand Central by half a length. Pollux was fourth. Gay Tide Beat Incision Tneision. was a short-priced favourite for the second Trial Slakes. lle finished gamely but went under to Gay Tide whieh paid a double-figtire . dividend. When Ihe field had sbttled dpwn, Cem I ennial Pride and Incision were promim enl ahead of Welcome Guest, Gay Tide. Ani Kuri and Fairholme. Grey PJume went up fast on the tuni to be with Incision at the straight entrance. She (•overed oxtra ground, however," and Incision led at the distanee where Gay Tide put in her claiin ahd she fiuished just too well for Incision. Grey Pluine was half a dozen lengths away third and Centennial Pride was fourth. A hundred yards past the post Oooperate fell and Pakau went down over him. The riders, 11. Jiorohani und W . L. Aitken, received a shaking, but both walked in from the course. Gity. Flame Was Never'Headed Gay Piame. was lirst ont in the Paia ' Ica Haek Hurdles and he was never headed. Midwood rode him eonfidently and the pace was solid throughout. Pive furlongs from . homc Gay Plame led from Prince Wheriko, Master Gary, llard Itoek and Gynerio.
