Close finishes are anticipated in most of the events to-morrow and large fields are expected in the Mount Davis Handicaps (First and Second Sections) and Tai Mo Shan Handicap. I fear many Owners will not be able to start their ponies owing to shortage of jockeys, although every available rider will be pressed to ride.
