MUSKETEER STILL PROMINENT
Musketeer has been doing steady work and is one of those most likely to challenger Oranje Boven and Marksman for the pre- mier place. On looks, this chest- ut should commend a great deal of respect. Avalon put up a sur- prise performance on Wednesday morning but I am, of the opinion that this grey will not be quite ready for the opening day of the meeting.
He should improve after a "cou- pie of outings and therefore may prove dangerous after the Arst two or three days. Tiny Tim is in fine condition and should be near in the sprint events. Wiber should also not be lost sight of.
