Flemington Plate Entries Sections For Original 109 Entries
Hope For Nil Desperandum Stakes
The opening event at Happy Valley to-morrow afternoon is the Caulfield- Stakes, for Australian griffins of this meeting, which should be good con- solation to those ponies which have failed to cross the wire first; for the winner is to receive $1,750.
On the book, Oracle should atone for her failure in the Austral Racing Stakes when Mr Li's candidate fell before Colooma by a short head over a distance of 11⁄4 miles. To-morrow the run is two furlongs less and Oracle is almost a dead certainty. Mountain View and Nomine Poenae are recommended for the lower positions.
There were originally 109 pominations of Australian subscription ponies of this season for the Flemington Plato, but the entries have been divided into two sections.
In the first section which is run over the mile, A Surprising Time, Black Seal, Cor- sair, Fresh Air, Jus Gentium, Royal Sovereign and Sydney Lady are the remaining good non- winners, but a red pencil can be drawn right across Black Seal's name for the progeny of Billy Moore is on the walking list.
A Surprising Time finished third behind Endeavour and Mainsali in the first section of Blue Mountains Plate, but the last named has been drawn into the recond section and the first racer with Mr Black up should have an easy passage. Royal Sovereign and Sydney Lady should al the minor placings. Optima Fide may upset the applecari.
