Hongkong Jockey Club's Fifth Race Meeting of tho 1957/58 season will continup tomorrow at the Valley with a programme of eight races.
Six out of eight races tomorrow are sprint affairs and a little care in noting the draw for positions may prove profitable. The best event tomorrow is the Hyde Park Handicap for Class 3 ponies over the two-mile post.
The first saddling bell will bo rung at 1.30 pin. and the first race will be run at 2.06 p.m
