Close Finish Expected

The fóurth race at 7 furlongs for 2nd class ponies must prove a good one with Goldenlight and Wet Morn fighting out the finish. The fifth race at 1% mile for 3rd class ponies anay be run off in two sections. Amongst the likely ones I must include Blue Peter, Receivership, Royal Scot and the Cosmopolitan, giving preference to Cosmopolitan.

The sixth race at 7 furlongs is open to all ponies and here a field of eight good ones may weigh out, amongst them Frostylight, Cherry-light, The Frigate and Woodbridge. I think the Cire stable may run first and second, giving first place to Frostylight.

The seventh race is also open to all ponies but at 11 furlongs, and here Gold Vase and Merry Jester may be seen fighting out a finish again as they often have done before, in which case I think Merry Jester will win, Mou Tan Hua may place.
