THE CAULFIELD CUP.
In discussing tho Caulfield Cup weights, "Vigilant" writes :— I consider that far and away the most leniently^treated horso in the race is Russley, Bst 101b. For some reason or other people are under the impression that the English-bred horse cannot stay, and the handicapper appears to share the same opinion. 1 don't know why. He won four races last season over a mile and a quarter in New Zealand, and won them each, moreover, with such consummate ease that he was allotted 9st 3lb, and then romped home ju«t as easily. The son of Doncaster is at least as well now as he was when he kept winning in Maoriland, and on paper his chance of winning the Caulfield Cup looks particularly rosy. After Russley, I like Lonsdale, Bst 71b ; Chicago, Sab 51b; and The Charmer, 7st
71b. The six horses whose chances please me most are Kassley, Meteor, The Charmer, Chefcwynd, Lonsdale, and Moorbank, and I take Ru&sley, Chicago, and The Charmer as the best three at the weights.
