The Railway Handicap should he an interesting race between Shaki, Crown Pearl and Rangitero. On Riecarcon form, the Hunt Club Cup looks a gift to Rufws. A really good held (considering the prize offered) will line up for the Marton Handicap. Fortify is nicely handi capped, hut may meet more than his match in Haskayne. if the going is at all soft.
