MY NOMINATIONS FOR RACE-GOERS

(By "Captain Foster")

The racing to-morrow promises to be very open, with the possible exception of the second race, the Jordan Handicap (First Section), in which I think the top-weighted Racing Pluck has an outstanding chance of winning, unless the distance proves too far for him. If ba, however, reproduces the form he displayed in the Junk Bay Handicap at the last Meeting, I cannot see him beaten.

The two Australian oventa (Cantala Handicap and Canberra Handicap) should provide the spectatora with plenty of excito mont, as I think we shall be treated with close finishes, especially in the Cantals Handi- cap, where form is better known.
