Winner trained by R. Martin. Matamata. Greek Queen, a consistent performer in recent starts, proved too good for the opposition at the weights and over the ▼cry decided stages drew right away to win with something in reserve. Sir Robin made a bold showing, while the odds-on fancy Heroic Maid, after having •very chance, raded right out in the straight. This, after her slashing success on the nrst day, was one of the surprising- features of the race. Heroic Maid made the early running, •bowing out as they eettled down rrom Greek Queen, Brazen Bold, Sir Robin and Merry Vaals. as they raced across the top Sir Robin had run up behind Heroic Maid and here Brazen Bold and Greek Queen were handily placed In front of Merry Vaals. who was heading the others. Heroic Maid led at the straight entrance but hair way down the running Greek Queen asserted herself and she gave nothing else a chance In the run home to win well by a length and a hair from Sir Robin, who finished well to beat the r&vourite, Heroic Maid, by a length. Brazen Bow was fourth and then came Merry Vaals, Miss Ridicule, Jean Quex and Surloy. Time 1.1 4-8. ELECTRIC HANDICAP, OT £140; b furlongs and 30 yards. I—I—VAL LL\ Mr D.
