CITY SELECTIONS An open contest in which the unexposed HOWZAK makes a level of appeal following a much-improved effort on his handicap debut from an unfavourable wide draw over 6f here last month. The fact that he was only overhauled relatively late having set a strong pace suggests that this drop back to 5f will suit and his present mark looks exploitable. Rockesbury recently shaped with similar promise on his first 5f start since his juvenile days and should remain competitive, as could the regularly-placed Bluella. HOWZAK
