Truth's" Special Melbourne Representative.) j| ALTHOUGH The Wensum was sent out a red-hot favorite If for the Caulfield Guineas, the New Zealand-bred colt gave f| a poor exhibition. At no stage of the race did he natter || his backers. Despite the fact that he had been able to lead || good sprint fields, he was unable ever to hit the front. If He was closest at the finish and was going well for |f fourth place. || The winner, Avaunt Courier, was a record-priced yearIt ling, bringing five thousand live hundred guineas, but the H Caulfield Guineas was only the second race he had won, if the other, win being a division maiden plate with £100 to II the winner. H In the Guineas Avaunt Courier led all the way. || Royal Charter looks like going out at the shortest price II for a Caulfield Cup favorite on record. II Eoyal Charter has now won each of four weight-for--11 age events he has started m. If On Saturday's showing he should be able to hold every- || thing that finished behind him. |iminiyiMnmuMumiHiiuiit«iiiiuiuiHiiMiMM
