too well known to be repeated and this grey should be able to stave oft any challenge in the "D" Class, First Section. Valorous will find the going sultable, while Wild Cat should be able to secure a place.
The non-winning subs of the season will face the starter in a sprint race of approximately five furlongs and here an upset is quite likely. However, Declasse has impressed me a great deal during the past two weeks and is my fancy for this event. Happy Venture, Radium, Clowner and Weedon Seat are also worth fol- lowing.
All Ave entries will go to the post for the second section of the Kellet Handicap. Ythan, Royal Highness and Monoplane are the best three. Flybynight and Night View will make up the field.
The last race of the day is al six furlongs sprint for "D" Class China ponies, second section and should be very interesting. Pagan Love. Racing Boy, Coronation Day and Copper Idol were right behind Stopwatch on Saturday and should fight out the issue between them.
