peted for by "D" Class China Ponies of Hong Kong Jockey Club, with the following probable starters: Dekko (Mrs. P. Y. T. Wei), Double Chance (Mr. Raymond), Gold Coin (Mr. F. F. Li). Gold Sovereign (Mr. S. C. Liang). Lancashire Chap (Mr. S. W. Leo) Na- tional Anthem (Mr Payne) Plain View (Mr. Pih) Radium Star (Mr. Pan) and Royal Highness (Mr. P. L. Chiu).
