EASTER STAKES ON MONDAY

The main event of the meeting: will be the Easter Stakes which is to be run at i p.m. on Monday. It is a handicap for China ponies over one mile and has attracted nine entries including the best amongst the "A" Class steeds. Burford is in at the top weight of 168 lbs., with Satinlight next at 168 lbs. These two ponies alone should provide a keen tussie: with the former under Mr. Fih and the Cire candidate

with Mr. Hearne in the saddle.

In addition, there will be such well-known racers as Confusion Bay, 158 lbs. (Mr. Black), Mount Hope Bay 56 lbs. (Mr. Proulx), Cralgavad 150 lbs., Eve of Harvest 144 lbs., Spicylight 161 lbs. and Grother 147 lbs.

(SECOND SECTION) Despite having to shoulder 163 lbs., Jennifer has been showing such excellent form in training that I think this chestnut will be very near winning agairi.

Lancashire Lass will be the chief source of danger, with Musketeer and Oak Bay next in demand. Jober and Blue Diamond should also come in for a fair amouns of support, while Peaceful View should be a good outsider.
