Mr. S. L. Sung, who rode with some success for the Marber Stable last year, will be seen in action, and it is rumoured that he is down here to take care of Mr. T. K. Li's original string of ponies, leaving Mr. V. V. Needa in charge of the newly formed Zylch Stable.

RACE NO. 1. MOUNT GOUGH HAN- DICAP: ABOUT HALF MILE 170

YARDS.

This sprint race will open the pro- gramme, and is confined to Griffins of this season with a proviso that winners of $750 or more in stakes are barred. It has attracted 24 entries and, in view of the short distance, it is probable that an upset will be witnessed.

RACE NO. 2, KOALA HANDICAP: FROM THE TWO MILE POST

ONCE ROUND AND IN. In this race for "C" Class Australian ponies it will be difficult to spot the likely winner, although many will place their faith in Frankin (Mr. Liang), which has been penalised 9 lbs. on account of its se- cond placing behind Many Thanks in the Broken Hill Handicap over six furlongs at

RACE NO. 8. MOUNT. DAVIS HANDICAP (SECOND SECTION): ONE MILE. This event will be contested by second sec- tion "B" Class China ponics, and an inter- esting race should ensue. Rob Roy has been given maximum weight, followed by New Star (Mr. Pan) 165 lbs. and Lancashire Lass. (Mr. Black) 163 lbs., and this will probably hamper their chances of winning.

Jennifer, which won the Boa Vista Handi- cap (Second Section) over the two-mile post and was later disqualified for crossing, has my recommendation for a win here, though it will not have Mr. Black as lis pilot. Peaceful View (Mr. Pih) has been knocking at the door of success for a long time, and I think to-morrow its chances are rather bright on account of its light weight of 147 lbs.
