In the Randwick Plate (Second Section) Daylight came in third to Corsair and Bona Vacantia res- pectively and on that performance I feel confident that it will win on Saturday.

There is also A Rosy Time (Mr. Hearne) to be considered as this combination is promising, while Snow White (Mr. Pih) is also a dangerous contender.

I fancy Daylight, for first place, with A Rosy Time second and Snow White third..

The distance sults Tobaccoship very well, and if Mr. Botelho can get this pony out in front after rounding the bend, it should have a good chance of winning.

Although it has been given only. another pound penalty, I am afraid it is not good enough to win here, I, therefore, look to Johnber (Mr.10.16 Chao), which was fourth in the 10.20 Canton Handicap (First Section), 10.24 to redeem Its past failures by 10.32 winning a race for the first time
