Francis Drake is on the easy list at present and will not be fulfilling his Auckland Cup engagement. Quadroon has been accorded a nomination for the Manawatu Cup, but it is understood that he will contest the Auckland Cup unless there is a likelihood of the going at Ellerslie being hard. _~ ~ The holiday plans for Tidewaiter and Surmount are apparently not yet definite, as both horses were entered for events at the Manawatu Meeting on Monday evening.

Wiggins's mounts will include Submission, Dynasty, Entail, and Icing.
