Saturday's racing provided those who were observant with many points of interest. I think it must be obvious to everyone that after the Griffins' Cup, the field for the St. Leger will be definitely amalier and the number of "possibles" considerably narrowed down. I think Electric Star is a surė star- ter, and in view of his convincing AUSTRALIAN RACE. defeat of Gladiator over mile and a quarter, the latter candi- The Australian St Leger is a date will probably not be selected very simple problem The winner to carry the "HEM colours next of the Australian Rooty HD

The Cavalcade has a strong claim on next name that comes to mind is. his recent success, but he does not King's Warden. I watched him strike me as a stayer, although for closely in his race against Glen-that, matter, none of the cthers eagles and King's Bounty, to both are likely to stay the cistance well. Classic Hall may win this classic, but if Calvalcade 'can't stay the distance, Classic Hall is even worie" 3.30 p.m. in this respect. Tiny Star is com- ing on rapidly and appeals as the most likely candidate to account for the race. I have been asked by several people what I think of St Ives' chances. Frankly. I don't uke his chances, and 1f St. Ives wins, there will be a big dividend. for those who believe in him.
