For the principal event, the St. Andrew’s Handicap, Bright Glow (£S2O) was preferred to Ruanui (£705) and Arrow Lad (£397). Merry Mint set the pace over the early portion from Arrow Lad, Teri, Ruanui, Keddar and. Jov Bird, and the positions underwent little change among the leading division going down the back, save that Bright Glow and Kawhakina worked forward. Merry Mint and Teri were still together as they came across the top for home, with Arrow Lad and Talisker ahead of Bright Glow and Keddar. and Blimp. Shrewd and Kawhakina within striking distance. With heads straightened out Arrow Lad cam© through fast and drew a wav to win by two lengths from Teri. who was a length and a-half in front of Talisker. with Bright Glow, who had not enjoyed an uninterrupted run. fourth. Then came Merry Mint and Shrewd, Arrow Lad will run on further than he was required to today.

Cylinder and Simba were smartest to begin from Awaken, Kahikatoa and Arisus, but crossing the top Lady Pam and Arisus dashed into the lead, and they were well clear of Simba, Arrowjean and Cylinder as they came into the straight. Cy linder came fast from the distance, but failed to reach Lady Pam, who scored by a head, with Arisus a length away. Kahikatoa was fourth, with the favourite a poor fifth, Arrowjean being next to finish. The winner is good, and the other place-fillers useful. Simba finished well.
