Precious Gold was the medium of
strong support last week, probably
due to (the fact that he has been im
proved 'by the short respite he had
enjoyed from racing, but he again
failed to show much dash, either on
the flat or over tlie jumps. A sixth
hurdle will be: set up to-night, being
erected just behind the 525 .yards
starting boxes, and this is not likely
to be in favor of Precious Gold. It
should, however, be appreciated by
The Red Chief, who usually gains
ground at each obstacle. This chap,
was beaten out of the money last
week, but he. has drawn his favorite
rails box to-night, and he will give a
much better display. Gay Astrakan
finished, second to the record-breaking
Slaughter Boy, and he will have to be'
given strong, consideration again. It
therefore appears as though the_ dogs
occupying boxes 8, 9 and 10 will fill
the places. Bronze Cubby was quietly
fancied last week, and fell when in
the van. If she stands lip to-night . she
will be .troublesome. None of. the
ethers look likely to bring about the
downfall of the moi e fancied candi
dates.
