RACE NO. 5: GUIA HANDICAP FIVE FURLONGS.
This is another sprint affair featur- Ironing China ponies, subscription griffins of Macao Jockey Club of any season. The best candidate here is undoubtedly Fairy Auk (Mr. Raymond), and I don't think that even top weight of 160 lbs. will stop it from winning.
Eagle is my choice to win, with Cloudy Star second and Iron Knight third.

races since January 1, 1939.
Looking through the entries, we need consider only the following:- Hogmanay (Mr. P. L. Chiu) Merry Maker (Mr. A. W. Raymond) Shanghai 4 (Mr. H. J. A. Hearne) Victory Life (Mr. B. L. Tao). At the last meeting. Merry Maker won the May Consolation Stakes over half a mile, and in view of that per- formance it should account for this race.

Shanghai 4 was beaten by Fairy Auk in the Kennet Handicap (six furlongs). and Hogmanay was third in the same race, but they may find the longer dis- tance to their liking.
I nominate Merry Maker to win, with Shanghai ₫ second and Hogmanay third.
RACE NO. 2: MA KAU SIAC HANDICAP: SIX FURLONGS.
This event will be contested by China ponies, subscription griffins of Hong Kong Jockey Club which were chased by Macao Jockey Club during 1938-39.

Mongolian Cat will be carrying top weight of 168 lbs. and as it has not taken part in a race for some meetings, I think it can safely be disregarded.
Eagle (Mr. Raymond) seems to be the likely winner as it won the Shel- ford Handicap at the last meeting over 14 miles, but Cloudy Star (Mr. P. L. Chiu) may give it a close fight, prob-

RACE NO 4: BARRA HANDICAP (FIRST SECTION) SEVEN FURLONGS.
In this race for "D" Class China ponies of Hong Kong Jockey Club, it would appear that Dekko (Mr. L. B Chao), winner of the Lantao Handicap over the mile at the Valley last Satur- day, stands a good chance of winning here, but Gold Coin (Mr. S. C. Liang) and Night View (Mr. Pih) must also command attention as the distance is shorter.

However, I feel that the most dangerous contender here is Double Chance (Mr. Raymond).
It must be borne in mind that this pony won the Fulwell Handicap (six furlongs) at the April Race Meeting at Macao carrying 161 lbs., whereas on Sunday, its weight is only 148 lbs.
