SECOND EXTRA RACE MEETING TO-DAY

HANDICAP EVENTS MIGHT PROVIDE SURPRISES: BIG DIVIDENDS VERY LIKELY

EVENT

(BY

MORNING DEW "')

The Hong Kong Jockey Club's Second Extra Race Meeting this afternoon provides an attractive programme of nine races and in view of the keen interest in racing" at the present moment, to- Kether with the fact that there are no counter-attractions, there ought to hea very large attendance at Happy Valley.

The course is in ideal condition and if the present fine weather prevails during the day, there is likelihood of some very fast rae- ing and the times of the "C" and "D" Class candidates will be surprisingly good.

Diana Bay, it is understood will be racing this afternoon. This is the first time that she will race at the Extra Heetings and it is not likely that sho will be beaten for a long time..

The Handicap events are interesting and judging from the weights hided out to some of the less prominent pouies, it ap pears as though a few upsets are quite likely this afternoon...

FIRST RACE A VERY OPEN EVENT

It is quite common for local, Sadko will make no difference. In nacegoers to turn up at Happy fact Hetman is running at 163 and Valley just after the first race is is more than likely to account for over.

Tillicum carries 145 and Poker Face 140. Both are likely to be outclassed. On the whole Champagne Bay's chances seem to be the best with Valorous and Brechin next.

Stourbridge is likely to run well find Mr. Black, being about the best novice at the moment is sure to get all there is out of him. Per Se was third in the Macao Derby and on that account he might be well backed. It is not beyond the realms of possibility to see Per So win, but if he does, the earlier part of the race will have to be in very slow time.
