Normally I start my Spotlight on the rising three-year-olds with the top weight in the Free Handicap. There would be no point in doing so this time as The Ple King is now in the United States. He will have greater opportunities there and is to be trained for the Santa Anita Derby, He is not engaged in any of the English classic races.

BRAVES WILL FACE THEIR STIFFEST HURDLE AGAINST THE PANDAS TOMORROW “SIR"

By “SNOOPER”

Ed Carvalho's Champion Braves, out of action for a month, will face their stiffest hurdle on Sunday at 3.45 p.m. at King's Park against Jackie Wei's Pandas who enhanced their prospects for the Senior "A" Pennant with a polished 2-1 performance against Jindoo Hussain's Saints in their last appearance.

In this top-of-the-softball-bill attraction, the Braves should be subjected to severe pressure and their outfielders will have to show more versatility and n speedier execution of their movements if they are to beat the Pandas in this crucial tussle.
