Chief Interest will be centred in the running of The Hong- konz St. Leger and Burford should not find the opposition at all bard to overcome, judging from his recent training track perfor manges. The Australian "A" Class event should provide us with the hest race of the day from a betting and spectator's point of view and there should be very little in it indeed at the finish. Vie Needs will be riding and will take out T.K.L's O-Lan in the “Big” Race of the day. He will be well backed as many race goers consider the combination a really good one especially as O-Lan is in first class racing condition at the moment.
