CANDIDATES' CHANCES
CONSIDERED.
January Plate.
"I expect a field of six to start in this event and with three pounds less weight for inches Aristophanes should win without any difficulty if ridden by Dr. Reidy The Doctor wns up against some bad joss at the inst meeting being pipped on the post on three different occasions. However, he looks like getting even this afternoon and will be well worth watching.
Darbam in the light of the past performances should be a handy candidate on which to place a little side bet and Solitaire, the big grey from Canton, is also worth men tioning for a place despite the fact that he looks a little under trained.
New Year Maidens.
This event should produce at least ter starters of which Mr. Stanton and Mr. Reidy's candidate Target seems the pick. He carried a mint of money at the last meeting and was beaten by a very narrow_mar- gia. With seven pounds off his previous starting weight he looks. the best of good things and will probably start a hot favourite.
Newfoundland who Wag also heavily backed at the last meeting is carrying five pounds less which should enhance his chance. I have seen him performing and I have no hesitation in saying he is a vastly improved pony, Lieut, Morgan, of the Queen's will have the mount.
Bay Run, who will be well servėd in the jockey department, should fill third place.
Winter Handicap.
Mr. N. Hashim's candidate My Lady will be a very pronounced favourite for this event after her convincing display at the last meet- ing. She is a beautiful jumper and possessed of a smart turn of speed which stands her in good stead on the flat.

Good Resolution Stakes. Mowgli should win this event easily. Always a good lancer, with aking for the game this courage ous Ettie mount should literally run awan with the race in spite of cpponents.
Blotting Paper who seems to understand his jockey Dr. MacCown may provide a race as he is looking very well at the moment.
