To-Day's Racing Prospects Reviewed
PROMISE OF BIG DIVIDEND IN DAILY [・・ “DOUBLES”
Just That And Nell Gwyn Fancied
(BY MORNING DEW ")
The first extra race meeting this afternoon should prove of more than usual interest for the reason that it will be the "first time that the new ponies will be racing on a hard course. The form displayed at the Annual Meeting when most of the races were run away from the rails and where "mudlarks had a distinct advantage, may prove an erratic guide to punters.
}
On paper, the Daily Doubles" to-day will be an open affair and there should be a big dividend waiting. for those who can spot both the winners. I think the second leg is about the most open event we have had since the Annual Race Mecting.
The race for unsuccessful Australian ponies of this season will be worth watching, as there are several of about equal strength who are due to meet. Nell Gwyn and Just That, over one mile, on a hard track, should be able to put up a good race. Mr. Seth's pony is u little better on paper.
Racing Boy's Big Task To-Day
again the distance may prove his; undoing. Soldier of Britain will go to the post sixteen pounds less than weight for inches and Gladiator too is given this advan- tuge. I do not fancy' the latter, though Mr. Li Shiu Pang's pony, with his light weight, appeals" to me. He is running in the “A” class in 'a distance that is a bit too long for him, but his light weight may make up for this. Mr. Deltz is "riding this pony and it seems to me he has an outside chance of pulling it off.
The Second Leg
It will be very difficult for those who have tickets on the first leg of the Doubles" to decide where to put their support in the second leg which is the "B" Class of the Tytam Handicap. The ponies classed in this race are all indiffer- ent performers and it will be dif- Acult to find the winner. Young Hero. Scar Face, Soldier of Italy and Bran Tub are more likely than the others to come in.
The Hong Kong Handicap The "B" Division of the Hong Kong Handicap is another very open race. King's Bounty and King's Worthy carry top weight, but they do not appeal. Flying Tourist is next With 156 and he has a sporting chance of carrying of this event. Mike has only 145 pounds and may prove.dangerous. Daylight Eve and Valorous are both in at comfortable weights and are worth a place bet.. Bright Star and The Tiger are old stalwarts and if the race is not too fast. both may be prominent.

III
Hong Kong Handicap
If Diana Bay should be sent out in this race over a mile and a quarter, I have no hesitation is saying that she will win, in spite of top weight. In her absence, the race is very open. Gleneagles, with 155 pounds to look" after. should get very near to winning this event and Sadko will not be far behind. Cossack's Beauty car-. ries 160 pounds and I do not fancy him over this long race. Brechin at 155 is a danger though here
with #150 pounds, but the con- census of opinion is that he will be outclassed. Bag Tor is giving seven pounds to Racing Heart and for that reason. I think the latter stands a better chance of winning.
