(By "RAPIER")

Racing will be resumed on Saturday at the Valley after the Summer recess, and, with the weather looking very promising at the moment, there are indications that the meeting will be a very successful curtain-raiser.

The rails have been moved from My choice is Criffel to win, with their original position, and the grass Chiltern and Snowy River for the track is certainly looking in splendid other two positions. condition, which should add material- ly to keen competition and fast times being recorded.

We have the same complement of Jockeys in our midst, with the addi- tion of Mr. H. M. Botelho, a Novice Jockey from the North, who I under- stand will be riding second string to Mr. A. W. Raymond.

Marksman (Mr. V. V. Needs), the champion sub., will probably and the pace too fast and its weight a bit too heavy. There is also Soldier of Bri- tain to be considered, and should it strike its old form it will probably walk off with the race.

After its fine performance, when it won the Whitsun Handicap at the 5th. Extra Meeting, King Kong, which will be ridden by Mr. A. W. Raymond, will no doubt be made hot favourite. Mr. Raymond knows the capability of King Kong perfectly, and, whilst I am prepared to give Strathbannock (Mr. D. Black) a fighting chance, due to its fitness at the moment, I foresee another win for this pony, Willynilly (Mr. S. C.

Blue Express will have Mr. C. En carnacao up, and, in view of the short- ness of the distance, I think the best it can do is to place.

Mr. Li, Lan-sang has entered three ponies, and I expect that he will send Hectic View out under Mr. H. C. Pih, as it is His best pony for the distance it has a good chance of scoring a

win here.

Then there is Jennifer, which will be ridden by Mr. B. A. Proulx, who is able to get his mounts, quickly out of the barrier and, as we low this pony's capabilities,

this combination should be prominent at the finish.

Red Feather is also a dangerous contender.

The winner should come from the following rate (Mr. V. V, Needa), essay (McL JA, Hearns); Hed= don (Mr. D-Black) and Kut Cheung (Mr. A. W. Raymond).
