THEY GO ON

Running .Out The Seven

The day finishes at Riccarton on Tuesday with the seven-furlong Avonhead Handicap. pREYFINCft, the winner of the six >* last Saturday is . not engaged, but Meadow Lark, which was "just beaten, is included. The extra furlong may not be to her advantage. • Vigilance and Tripaway ; wiil have friends, but just below them are two which will be supported. They are Royal Lineage and Historic. ■■.'.'•• Royal Lineage gave a good glimpse of returning to form at Hastings, and, when at his best, he;is equal to holding his own m. this company. : >\ At Trentham, Historic beat Consent on the final day and it was his ability to hang on that won for him. . ' Extra ground should thus be to his liking. .. ■ Pangolin'shouldbe m it for some part of the journey, while m the autumn Qqar^erdeck was a filly of more than.. average promise. Beau Geste did not do it last week, but Page Boy won m different class. Of- the lightweights nothing appeals more than Marjoram. He burst into prominence at Trentham last month. The race will take some thinking out, but, wb^en it come^ time to do or die, punters, may stick to: ROYAL LINEAGE and , HISTORIC. •■}■-■'
