TO-DAY'S CLASSIC FOR THE SUBS. MARTELL'S BRANDIES

NATIONAL DAY FAVOURED TO WIN SPORTS CLUB CUP

PORTIA'S BIG TASK IN SPRINT EVENT: RECORD MAY BE LOWERED

(BY "MORNING DEW ''}

Providing the weather keeps fine thera should be a good day'a sport at Happy Valley today, though on looking through the pro gramme, it is to be feared that favourites will monopolise the day.

The main attraction of the card is of course The Sports Club Cup, the subs classic over a mile and a half. view of his previous good performances, National Day is strongly fancied to win this event, but personally, I do not consider his ances in any way outstanding, That he has the best claim, can deny, but a mile and a half has often found many poniesut, and un- lass National Day is an out and out champion, among the second lot of subs he may be a disappointment to-day.

Portia carries top weight in the Victoria Park Handicap over, six furlongs where she will have to contend with two good sprint- ers in The Giraffe and Wotin. In spite of the weight, she should win.

DON NOW BACK IN "B" CLASS

Subs Race.

Don will be racing to-day at top | weight in the "B" Class and In the 5fth race, Now's The Time although she could do nothing in should have little difficulty in win- the "A" he is very different ning if he is sent to the post, but proposition in the "B"; such is the there is just a possibility that the gap between the two classes. Navy pony may not be sent out here but Hall has now been given 180 pounds in the mile and a half. The Pan- and Don can, in my opinion, give. ther over six furlongs is tough him five pounds and a beating over proposition, and if Now's The five furlongs. Tho Tiger also has Time is not started The Panther a good chance in the Ave furlongs should win. No fear or Adon look ovent, and after him, I should pick like good get here utd provided on Valorous and Weybridge.

ponies. Bold, General won hand- somely over six furlongs in Macao and although I do not expect him well for reader to bear his name in to win to-day, it would be just as mind, especially if anyone is look- ing for long shots."

Griffins Summer Handicap. Wayward Stag has two good races to choose from to-day, one in the first event over a mile which he should be able to win, and the next is the second race over six furlongs which ought to suit him very well. On the whole he is more likely to start in the second race.

Portia's Taak,

In the Australian race over six furlongs, there seems to be just three ponios in it, Portia, Tho Giraffe and Wotin. The Giraffe and Wotin are capable of doing about 1.93, 6r possibly a little less. The record for this distance is 1.21.3, so it would seem that carrying 170 pounds, Portia will have to get very

If Wayward Stag stays away From the first race, then Poker Face, Widnes and Spotted Butter fly should make a good show of it between them. Poker Face at 164 pounds looks very good to me and after weighing up the chances, near record time, if she is going his seem to be the best, with to win. On past performances Widnes next and Spotted Butterfly Portia should win, and if the going next. Jungle Jim has to wrestle is good, the record is due to be with 168 pounds. and is not likely to cause much trouble but Mr. Stroot Soares other candidate, Singer, at 148 pounds, has a sport ing chance of getting placed.
