To-morrow's Opening Event
THE OPENING EVENT will be the Shatin Handicap (first section) for "D" class China ponies, which is a sprint from the 1% mile post (about half mile 170 yards). The recent demotion of Jane Doc. Just In Time and Oscar Zylch should make the race interesting..
On past performances I regard Just In Time to be the best, but it appears to ine that the mare is not at her best. Mr Black will inke the bluckie out.
