Victory Life (Mr. Hearne), which was second in the Areia Preta Han- dicap (seven furlongs) at the same Meeting, should form the main op- position; with Coureur Bleu also in the picture at the finish.

SUNDAY'S TEAM

Iron Knight (Mr. Llang) won the Choi Ma Hui Handicap (half a mile) at the last Meeting and should again figure prominently in the finish here, point of view is that B. C. Fay, who Bowling in only two League matches been chosen to represent the Rest.

will probably turn out regularly.

National Triumph (Mr. Hearne), which was second to Iron Knight in the same race, may also be expected to contest the finish

RACE NO. 3 THE LAPPA HANDI- CAP (FIRST SECTION)— BIX FURLONGS ·

China

In this race for "E" Class ponies, King's Parade (Mr. B. L. Tao) is given top weight of 168 lbs., but as this pony has been accustomed to carry this weight-before and has placed it should not prevent it from winning as the distance is only six Turlongs.

Persian Cat (Mr. Llang), which dead-heated with Lucky Eleven in second place at the last Meeting over five furlongs in the Turf Handicap (First Section), is the only pony to give it a fight. Mac's Adventure is likely to take third place.

RACE NO. 4 THE PORTO CERCO HANDICAP-81X FURLONGS. "D" Class China ponies will com- pete in this event and, judging from its form shown at the Valley last Saturday, Clowner (Mr. Chattey), which passed the post a good fourth in the Junk Bay Handicap over six furlongs, should stand a good chance of scoring its first win here. There TLF Double Chance (Mr. Payne) to be considered, however, as this pony has invariably done well ' at Macao meetings. My preference goes fo Clowner.

RACE NO. 5 THE STEWARD'S CUP-ONE MILE

This is the main event of the meet- ing, on the result of which the special Dollar: Sweep will depend. I expect to see the following start.

Fairy Auk (Mr. Payne) Fairy Queel (Mr. Liang) Hogmanay (Mr. Yuen) Meadow Eve. (Mr. Chiu) Rothesay Bay (Mr. Tang Man Wa). Fairy Ousel (Mr. Liang) won George Potts Memorial Cup over a the mile at the last Meeting in convinc- ing style and, as it will.. be again ridden by Mr. Liang, I fail to see how any of the other contenders can hope to better it. A good struggle for se- cond position should be provided by Fairy Auk and Hogmanay.

B. G. Baker, of the old bowling firm of Pope and Baker, is-due back from for most League games: leave shortly and should be available.

I understand that C. Pope, one of the finest all-rounders in Second DI- vision, will lead the team which will probably be composed of the follow- ing players:-C. Popė, A. E. Carey, B. C. Fay, H. W.
