Nowcta has had SO many nice easy ones
at six furlongs and comes 80 well at the
end that she ought to win the first race to-
day with great ease. Goo Goo has royal
chance and Burlap should be third.
LASSo IN THE SECOND.
Lasso is good. has the speed and will win
the second race. Lady Nashti likes a fast
track and can beat the others in here. As
Mabel VIM has bad wind she is not a re-

real good colt. steady and plucky. Check
