GOOD RACING PROMISED PUNTERS ON SATURDAY
NOVICE JOCKEYS NOT CATERED FOR AT FIFTH EXTRA VALLEY MEETING
Brisbane Spring Handicap Prospects Discussed
(By "Last Quarter")
After the very encouraging dividends returned at the last meet- ing a fortnight ago punters will undoubtedly be keenly looking for- ward to the Fifth Extra Race Meeting which takes place tomorrow in E pro- afternoon. Once again handicap events predominate #ramme of len races; the ope, main feature being the absence of a Novices Race; which has, amongst certain sections, been regarded more or less as a standard fixture of every race meeting at the Valley.
常
"From a review of the entries, the actual racing itself appears Just as open as at the Fourth Extrs Meeting but I believe dividends will be on a smaller scait though upsets may ones again be fre- quent due to the large percentage of sprint races, where such a great deal depends on a favourable position at the starting rate and the ability to make a fast get-a-way.
