TO-DAY'S RACING PROSPECTS ANALYSED.

BAG AND BAGGAGE FAVOURED FOR THE

AGGREGATES: FAST RACE EXPECTED.

WHAT THE SUMMER INTERVAL HAS DONE! FORM DISCUSSED IN DETAIL.

[BY "MORNING DEW."]

To-day's race meeting at Happy Valley, in epito of several counter attractions, is sure to draw a large crowd and those who attend may be sure of some very fine racing and, probably, a couple of big dividende,

Form has changed considerably in the case of several prominent candidates and bolow is given an exhaustive discussion of the chances of various candidates in the eight rasee on the card.

With the exception of Mr Ip Kui Ying, who is not yet re- turned to the saddio following his accident of May last, and Mr Proulx, who is away in Singapore, all local jockeys will be riding The number of novices has been swolled by the inclusion of several very keen new riders who will probably be seen in the novices event to-day.

CAN THE GIRAFFE WIN TO-DAY?

Maiu interest is centred on the Australian race which is a very open event, although in some quar- ters it is felt that the race is a gift to The Giraffe. The Aggregato Stakes, over six furlongs is sure to produce sume very fast contenders and Bag and Baggage, although a very classy candidate, will have to go all out if he is going to win.

The prospects of to-day's races said in some quarters that on his are discussed below in the order in present form The Giralle will beat which appear on the programme Woodland Stag Although I do not agree with this, since Woodland Nathan Handicap "B" Class.

He certainly looks a very good thing on paper and if his looks in the paddock nonvinces you that he is fit, an odd ticket on him might not be unwise.

Racing Boy, the most outstanding subscription griffin of recent times is entered for this race and will be the mount of the champion jockey, Mr. Frost. Racing Boy has heen doing excellent track work lately and is really a very convincing candidata and if anything is going Friar Tuck would have a much to heat Wild Life, Racing Bor i botter chance than Evening Star of the most likely to do it.

The former will have to carry 158 pounds and 9.35 the latter 101 pounds and these two ponies will have plenty to say in this race. Bluelove won a mile in just under 2.10 in June and follow- ed that up with a win Macao. His weight is not too much to-day and he should be prominent.

Jordan Handicap.

The top weights in this handicap are Blue Heaven, Just Imagine, Pocahontas, Toby, Little Gem, and Echo, and one of these should pro- vide the winner.

Blue Heaven disappointed very

badly in Macao. He is not likely to win to-day unless he can put up a much better show than he did a week ago. He looks the picture of condition, but his performances are disappointing.

Just Imagine has yet to win a raco and in view of the heavy weight hy will have to carry to-day, he may have to wait a little longer for a win. The pony, however, is good and an each way bêt in re- commended.

Pocahontas is strongly recom. mended. He is in good condition and his past record is ju good one
