SAUCY FACE NOT EXPECTED TO RUN WELL
(By "Capt. Foster")
If King's Jubilee and Rose Queen strip for the Smugglers Handicap I expect to see them lead the field home in the order named, but there is a distinct possibility that the latter will not start, in which case I make Soldier of Victory and Victoria Hall the two best place bets. Gold Coin will have to show very improved form to beat either of these two, while the rest of the field I don't like at any price. Soldier of Peace will probably go for a maiden race further down the card.
