JULIETTE'S WEEKLY FROLIC The powers that be at No 99
delivered a severe lecture on the modesty of my National flutter, but there are a thousand. better races for 'getting-out' operations and financial caution, at least, allowed for a more generous and appreciative view of a finish that would not have disgraced a five- furlong sprint. Champion two-year old, My Swallow, should draw a Nijinsky-style crowd to Kempton on Saturday, while Lester Pig- gott and Brother Scot can bear out their Lincoln hard-luck story by defeating Tandy and Melody Rock for the Roseberry Stakes. At Worcester's excellent mid-week NH fix- ture, the prestigious Royal Porcelain 'Chase has an unhelpfully large field, but with Royal Toss and Bighorn heavily weighted it could lie between Fortina's Palace, who ran a great race to beat New Romney at Kemp- ton, and Tantalum, impressive winner of Cheltenham's Totalisator, who earlier ran Soldo to a neck at Windsor, with Limeburner and Bowgeeno (both receiving weight) in the rear. He appears well treated with 11 stone and will appreciate the distance of three miles. Assets: £70.375. Outlay: £5 to win Brother Scot and Tantalum.
