AWAPUNI NOTES

GALLOPS THIS MORNING Press Association. PALMERSTON X., To-day. Brilliant conditions following rain prevailed this morning, when a large contingent of horses worked at Awapuni. Not a great deal of fast work was attempted. The track on the outside of the course proper was open, and the majority worked thereon, although the inner grass and sand were j also used. : Star Stranger, Knightlike, Tlaasay, J Gesto and Connoisesur were early I workers, but merely pottered about. Versigern was sent over five in 1.5, an attractive effort. After breakfast Orown Area and Broad Acre ran a solid half-mile, finishing on terms, and Fee Simple was in front of Mooregas over the same distance. Puwhero and Royal Heather sallied round a gdod pace and Mister Gamp finished stronger than Son o’ Mine at the end of seven in 1.41. Keddar had the measure of Shining Star over six in 1.22, and Lin : Arlington drew away from Inflame in the straight at the end of five in 1.7. Satrap and Hyanna were companions over six furlongs, finishing on terms in 1.20.
