5th Race Almost impossible to forecast with any degree of confidence.

To-morrow's match may go a long way to either allaying or encouraging the fears that the selected side is by no means the best at the disposal of the selectors, but the trials have given very small hopes.

Frankly I feel that if the three reserves chosen were put into the team, Hongkong would walk on to the Canidrome ground and deliberately and definitely obliterate the Shanghai- landers.
