it is strongly faneled to win Valley Stakes (First Section): | again, Six Furlongs.
The opening event is confined to the first section of new Aus tralian subscription horses and, judging from their training per- formances, strongly fancy Bagatelle (K. Kwok) to win.
Rose Elect (D. Wayne) is the next best bet, but it must also be borne in mind that Daredevil: (R: Tsal) is a fast moving anim- al and it can take the lead There will be nu catching it
For big money I recommend Space Mouse (Yen Ching-lan),
