SOUTH CHINA MAY BE WEAKENED FOR GAME
KING'S WARDEN'S FINE MILE GALLOP LEGER POINTER?
ELECTRIC STAR'S TRIAL OVER 1-1/4 MILES
DIFFICULT DOUBLE TO-MORROW
K"
(By Rapier"}
*
ING'S Warden's very fine mile gallop on Wednesday morning when he covered the mile in 2.10 with a last half of 1.01.0 and a finish- ing quarter of 0.28.4 places him as a St. Leger possible for the next meeting and his form will be closely watched in the Surrey Handicap over a mile and 171 yards to-morrow. On his gallop, and being in the hands of Mr. Heard, he looks a winner.
Electric Star, another candidate in the Griffins Leger will also be on trial in the Hong Kong Griffins Cup over 14 miles half a mile short of the classic distance. On his form last time out he is a likely winner, though it must be remembered that he has not done better than secure third place over this distance.

WITH the possibility of Li Tin-

Although South China have no catse for worry, the team will be considerably weakened. In the Jevent of Li not playing, Leung In- chan, the right-half, will most like- ly be moved, to right back:
Tay Kwee-liang, the fast winger, will not be available for the game jowing to a knee injury sustained last Sunday. His place will be filled by Wong Mee-shun, who has been rested for the last couple of months,
