v.-eight, as thai honor falls to another im
popted lutrse, Crowdennis. who has a
raxhr-r imposing 1 jiglisli record as a
sprinter. Many vcre hoping to see liw
Mr. X. Falkincr's comparatively recent
importation would shape in the Futurity,
but when the harrier Tent up he sim
ply wheeled round with Dempser and took
no part in the race. Therefore, Crowden
nis must be taken on trust, and of the
pair Claro is to be preferred.
Kasingwold and Sonora both ran pro
minently in the Futurity Stakes, and al
though the former will meet Mr. Fallcinei's
eecoud string on 3 Ib. better terms, Sonera
might be expected to beat the Western
Australian again. Twelve months ago
KasingwoM ran second with 8 ?t. 5 lb. to
Sunburst, so that on this occasion he
will have an extra, stone to carry-. A

Prince Tre^ady has done nothing lately.
bnt Quintns, who changed hands after

eutc to run prominently.
South Australia will be represented hyj
three sprinters—St. Speed. Tagala. and Ki-j
bano—and of the trio Su Speed shoulj
do best. However. 12 months ago, ai'<M
winning Ike Hawksburn Handicap in ]|
mm. 14 eec, he failed'badly in the New-1
market, but probably he is a better horse
this year. The only candidate with a
penalty is Royal Thought, who rather nn
eipectcdiy won i-he Oaklcigb Plate. Black
adder scored decisively in the Hawksburn
Handicap with 7 si. S Ib. in 1 mm. US
sec, and with D lb. off his back Mr. Al
S. Chirnside"s horse, now five years .M,
may be expected lo run forward. H.?n
