SUNDAY'S MEETING AT KWANTI
"WOMBAT" ANTICIPATES CLOSE FINISHES
AN INTERESTING AFTERNOON FOR ENTHUSIASTS
There ought to be interesting racing at the Kwanti racecourse to-morrow, when the postponed meeting, which was originally set down for deci- sion on April 3, will be submitted by Jockey Club.
The first race is timed to start at 2.15 p.m.
The usual transportation faci- lities will be in evidence and, from all I can gather about the prospects of the day's racing, some fast and close finishes may, be anticipated.
