In the Republican Handicap (fret section) for "E" class Chlua ponies
which is another run over, the same course, the order of the falsh should be National Dignity, Stymic and Cricketer.
The Kun Hua Handicap, confined to "D" das China ponies over five Jurlongs, to be ridden by novices, looks very open. Sylvandale, after his fine run at Fanling, should be respected, but I like The Leopard and Gold Sovereign.
Persian Cat has my vote for the Republican Handleap (second sec- tion) with Cloudy Star and Eagle to fill the minor positions.
