MACAO JOCKEY CLUB TO

Bacing this week-end will be at Macao where the Macao Jockey Club will be holding their May Meeting on the. Areia Preta course tomorrow afternoon, There are six events down for decision In- cluding the usual Novice Race, which is the last race on the pto- gramme.
The first race is scheduled for 3 pin., and the first saddling bell will be rung at 2.30 p.m..

believe Fairy Auk will probably ac- count for Fairy Ousel, Gold Clause ls good for an each way bet as he has about the best chance of creating an upset. The field wil probably be on the small side..
WAN CHAI STAKES
I do not think Shanghai 4 will accept here in view of the colossal he has to weight of 170 lbs. shoulder, so will leave him out of the reckoning. Hogmanay looks attractive to me in spite of 162 lbs. Cloudy Star will offer great op- position in this event as he car carry weight and seems to like a distance run. Rothesay Bay and Iron Knight are" others with fair chances.
MA KOK HANDICAP
(FIRST SECTION) Radium Star is exceptionally fast over sprint distances and is the most likely one to win this half-mile event. Heddon is a very good bet and Dow Jones and Lucky Eleven are the ones that will pay well if they create an upset.
NAM WAN HANDICAP The issue should lie between Gold Coin and Night View in this
event, with the chances in favour of the latter. Fei Ying should place and Golden Cow is about the best of the remaining" entrants:
MA KOK HANDICAP (SECOND SECTION) New Bedford will probably start favourite but there is a chance that he will be beaten by Kine's Envoy. National Anthem and Mac's Adventure are both good sprinters and should not be neglected in this half mile race. The dark one to follow. I am told.

CONSOLATION STAKES
Make your own selections in this final event as all the starters would have performed earlier in the afternoon and punters should be able to gauge their chances fairly accurately
