probably have Miller up and VIII go
to her best form.
Jake Sanders is a sprinter but can
not hold his speed with this bunch.
Bill Curtis has run some good races,
but must show more recent form 10 be
a factor in this race.
1t therefore appears to be a three
horse-racc. with Druid first. Hans
Wagner second and Memories third.
Rubrie 20 Repeat
The third race will attract as much
interest as the handicap as it brings
together small field Of exceptional
performers at sprint of six furlongs.
Workman will make his season 8
debut at Ascot in this event and IS
fresh from a win at his last try In the
cast workman is capable Of going to
the front and winning at his case from
this bunch hut will hardly do SO.
Another week at Ascot and he will
become acclimated. A couple Of races
will put him on edge for going to his
best but he will hardly do today.
Rubric should repeat his perform
ance Of Monday. when he reeled off
seven furlongs in 1:26h making run
away race of il against La Londe and
four other god ones from the drop of
the flag 10 the finish going under the
wire first by four and one-half
lengths. merely breezing.
Don Domo will like the distance. and
should be close UP at the finish. unless
his race against Big Ben and Esca-
lante has affected him unusually.
La Londe should go well and on
her race against Rubric Monday
should be no worse than third at the
finish.
Trajan has shown nothing Of a scary
nature since coming to the coast and
should bother none Of the front rum
ners to-day Workman may try but it
Is doubtful IL his form Is such that he
could win in any event just now.
orchan Is Due
The fifth race will also prove attrac-
tive. Six high class performers are en-
tered to go the mile and one-eighth.
Orchan is In light and is about due
to win. He ran a winng race against
Marshal Ney last Tuesday until the
final strides, when he tired. The dist
ance is shorter today and he should
last long enough to get the verdict.
The Gadfy is a hard proposition in
not tolerate any loafing at any stage
of the race. The Gadfly looks the best
of the others and should be second.
Marshal Ney should be third.
The first race is a selling affair for
2-year-olds and an even dozen are
carded to start.
DR.. McCarty is entitled to the call
here on past performance. having
shown better at Ascot than anything
in the race against him. Stubbs' horses
are rounding to in great form and are
about cherry ripe now.
F'ulletta should be second and Sc
cret should be next behind. The class
of this race is poor and anything in
1T has legitimate right to favoritism.
Nothing in the second race has won
more than once since July l. otherwise
hA Ill
teen platers are entered for the mile
and one-sixteenth journey.
Del Coronado looks best on FORM
connections and weights. The Bon
sack gelding ran corking good race on
Tuesday, coming from away back in
the bunch, and finishing third to Con-
fessor and Tramotor
,kinsman is a fair performer at this
Instance and has run pretty close or
thereabouts every start He should
nave no difficulty in running second.
Brigand should be third.
Our Lille May Win
Fourteen fillies and mares are or
ganized into a hen party in the final
race today and none may be denied
consideration.
Valencia looks best on form but
Goes not run the same race every
tlme, and if Our Lille steps to anv-
thlng IKE her best form she will win.
Our Lille has shown credtably in
her starts at Ascot this season, and is
improving with each race. Slight inn
ProVement over her last two outs
would send her across the plate with
the winning run today.
Belle Kinney is a dangerous presence
mere and cannot be worse than third
Fhe result should be about like our
Lille Valencia, Belle Kinney.
An extraordinary card is presented
this afternoon at Ascot, with three Of
the SIX races equally as attractive and
entitled to be the feature event.
