He has shown that he has a fancy for the Wanganui track and in the Cup he is going take some beating. Half a mile on the No. 1 grass was covered by Hinewai in a little ove--50. Th© Chief Ruler filly was rot covering any more ground than necessary, but she hit out attractively and should come good with time. Taneriri Improving Still another Cup candidate in Taneriri was seen out, the Antagonist horsa being accompanied over three-quarte*s of a mile by Wild Country, his threi-year-old full sister, and the pair covered six furlongs on the grass in 1.17 4-5, th© first quarter taking 25 4-5. and th© half-mile 51 3-5. Taneriri went well i and is expected to improve* on las; j Saturday's display at New Fly mouth. Joy Germ hit out freely on the p ough and appears ready to giv© a good ac- ! count of himself. Zarene went fast over the last four furlongs of six on the plough. Red Fuchsia, with A. McDonald in the saddle, worked pleasingly on the plough. Cimabue, with H. Wiggins up, covered the last five furlongs of six on the in 1.4 1-5, moving along fas: over the first of six. This concluded the early morning work. Just before seven o’clock a short shower fell, but served to do no more than camp the grass, and when work was resumed after the interval the conditions were still as good as ever. Whenuatonga was sent along over eight furlongs without being responsible for anything more than a good working gallop. Femden, on t(ie outer, was not going all out to cover half a mile in good style, hitting out well. A Likely Maiden Potoaform, ridden by H. Gray, who will pilot him in the Maiden, covered ' six furlongs on the grass, the last four j taking him 53. He can do better. Star Area (light-weight). Auctioneer (W. H. Jones) and Soviet (X. Voitre) were sent together ever seven furlongs on No. 1 track, and the trio finished in that order. They ran the first quarter in 26, three in 38, while the half-mile took 51 2-5. The five furlongs took 1.4 1-5, with Star Area j making up his leeway and taking the lead once they approached the bend, and he finished full of running to record 1.31 3-5 for the full distance, while Auctioneer took 1.32 4-5. Four lengths back was Soviet, who was not hurried. But it was a good effort on the part of Star Area, who covered more ground than either of the other pair. My Own, Jenny Diver and Paratoo were among those whose tasks were of a useful order.
