The Eighth Extra Race Meeting of the Hongkong SPORTING FIXTURES Jockey Club which commences to-morrow and continues on Tuesday, is the only two-day affair of the second half

of the season.

The first day's racing programme of eight races is composed entirely of handicap events; the main ones being the October Handicap for China pontes and the Canberra Handicap for Australian ponies of any season. The latter. should be an interesting race as the best ones in the "A" class will go to the post.

CANBEERA HANDICAP.

The field in this mile event" for Australian ponies will be on the small side but it will be more than compensated by the quality that. will be on view. I expect a stir- [ring struggle between Courting Eve (Pih) and Lucky Lad (Needa). Both these ponies are at 185 lbs.. and there is little to choose be tween them.

With Lancashire Chips (8. W. Tang) also going to the post, the race should be most interesting. Tornado Star (Pan) and Cockleroy (Black) will also be saddled for this event but I do know whether Criffel and Double Finnesse will strip. However, all these ponies are in at light weights and I make Tornado Star the best of them.

AUSTIN HANDICAP

(1ST SECTION)

This race should be worth going a long way to see as the field will be evenly matched and six fur- longs is just the ideal distance for several of the entrants. The Judge will probably have a dificult time: separating Galveston Bay, Mus- keteer and Pinfarthings, not to, mention Rose Evelyn. In addition, Soldier of Britain, is quite fancied in some quarters, but though I have no information regarding this grey, I feel his best racing days are over.

Advancing Time, Boolat Bay and Rose Queen would prefer a longer race while Celtic Star will find it' difficult to keep up with the sprinters for the first half mile or 80. At the time of writing I am inclined to favour Pinfarthings, Galveston Bay and Musketeer.

I almost forgot to mention King | Kong, who should give any of the others a run all the way. A very dificult race in which to nominate the ultimate winner and punters should study. Carefully the positions at the gate.
