The ."Looker-on" comments in the "News":— '• ■ ■ "' . ■ ■'.:"' Expect was decidedly sore after working., GV Price, : his trainer, said' that there.was nothing seriously wrong.

It was. a Tcry satisfactory spin. ■' . ..: . . . ■■.■■. ■■■•'■' Merry Roe was going great guns all the way in her gallop over a mile, and the time registered was brilliant. .- . La Eeina went a trifle short when first she stepped on to the track. She moved more freely during her second round. 'Dovmhara.is looking very bright, 'unci is moving 'in great style.. Indigo was a long way too strong for Mysteriarch. The time registered, was not much good,: but he looked as if he could have done bettor, and is' a fine 'mover.:: ■ • Sid. Eeid will ride Kilmeny in \ the Hurdle race. . ■ . , Cludic was under, a strong pull all the way in his work. . He looks at tie top oflis form. . Syoaborg was blowing very lard while sprinting.five'furlongs. ... Kooya-looks, 'as well as anything engaged in .the Cup, and is a.very bold worker. . .- Hymettius showed a lot of pace while sprinting five furlongs. He us always ■worked by himself, as he gets very excited ,in company.' Eingform looks well; and is galloping with great freedom.. . ■-. • Campeador was .very anxious to increase the pace ■ while doing naif-pace work. ' .- ■ . .';.■■ Labour Day has a very suspiciouslooking leg in front. She did not move sore on it while doing steady work, but it looks ugly. . i. , :..'." Bonny Helen was given an easy task. I think it will be late at the meeting before she is at her Best. Einaldo was sprinted five furlongs.at something little better threequarter pace. He is getting big. Autumiius is too big to do himself justice, even if he wore sound. Fabrikoff galloped nicely over Blx furlongs, and did it jr.eli e»WS ijiujeelf, I

cannot fancy his chance in the Cup, ana must label him a doubtful starter. Bee is. greatly fancied for, the Stewards'. Handicap. ' . .'Wisebird'is a very doubtful starter ai the meeting. Warstop's was easily the best gallop of the morning. She'did sot have a moving. start, but stood at the post, and yet she' registered 'the fastest six-fnrldng, eeven-furlong, and mile gallops of the morning. During her trial over twelve furlongs Chrysotis was to have picked her-up after the first quarter, but she was no use at any part of the gallop, and .Warstep dropped _ her four furlongs from home.. The times registered over the intermediate distances were:—Six furlongs, lmin. lGsec:; eoven, imin. 28Jsec.; mile, lmin. 43sec. All done under a good pull. After Chrysotie was done, the little mare eased up, and completed her gallop in SGsec. Considering that she was carrying well' , over her Cup weight it was a brilliant gallop, and the going was on the soft side. She was. not unduly distressed when she pulled up, and Emerson, who rode her, says she was doing her work well all the way, and was never under pressure. ,
