BEST-LORD BRAEDALBANE.
HY SCHNEIDER came back to the
races after a layoff of over q year and
was only nosed out right at the end OF
his first start. This field looks just
about the same as that previous one.
and the conditioning he received on
that occasion should make him the
winner Monday. BLANC SEING gal
loped away from fair ones in fast time
in his most recent start. Has smat-
tering of class when right. The one
to beat. DAN BURNHAM is some
what of unknown quantity. On sew.
eral occasions last year he menaced
fast ones. A chance for him II he runs
one of his good races.
zrRCoN has been with the leaders
in both her starts. She has worked SEN
sationally, and II she races back to her
trials will be hard to keep from gradu-
ating at. the expense of the field of
fillies in the second. MADCAP MAR
WIN may prove the one to outrun. She
had race recently as a conditioner,
and if she is away forwardly she may
be a troublesome contender. VERMI-
CULITE has had plenty Of education,
and will be found in the winners circle
when not too ambitiously placed. A
possibility here.
MINERvUS has won both starts at
this track. He again takes on field
band is rather closely matched, should
prove the winner. CONGO II drops
enough weight from his last race to
place him close up. Although ADELOT
was a handy winner over Congo the
other day a 13-pound shift in weight
may bring them to the finish as named
this time.
Looks as though both CASH PLAY
and bessie were looking for soft
spot when they we're dropped into the
fourth. Really not much else In the
race and If either defaults, the other
would be a cinch. CASH PLAY has
been racing along with the best at the
course and not doing so badly. He
should be able to stall off bessie.
However, the latter is shifty f1lly and
certain to offer plenty Of contention.
COLORATURA has been trimming
platers over q route with so much ease
that she must be given a place among
the first three.
If LORD BRAEDALBANE manages
to find way to toss this of he should
be awarded the palm as the champion
hard-luck racer of the West. Lost a
couple of nose decisions lately through
no fault of his own, when on each &C.
casion it was evident he was much the
best of his company. Last time care
less rider threw the race away. Monday
he has a f1t horse in AMSTERDAM to
beat, but he seems thoroughly capable
of taking care of him. The latter has
finally found his winning stride, after
many unsuccessful attempts to escape
the ranks Of the maidens. Now that he
knows the shortest way around, he has
been beating some fair animals. DEEP
RIVER may be able TO do better this
rates him third.
THE MOON was cut loose last start
! and his price came tumbling down until
he was we'll backed favorite. Led
most of the way, but was not quite good
enough. Ills company lS IOI 80 tOuBi
as the field in that other race. He
should redeem himself Monday. Over
fast going PERFECT ALIBI is certain
| to be In there fighting 1t out for all the
money. His two races over a fast strip
show just how good he Is. MIN THE
NYMPH is always dangerous in fields
| Of this sort. One of her good races
would offer plenty Of opposition.
TIM on is about as consistent "a
platers come. All of her races this
Spring point her out as the logical
choice in the days Anal. A test at this
route should be exactly to her liking
and should she continue her speedy
ways. Doubt If there is anything In
here to catch her. KEITH shows signs
Of being about ready for his best. Not
a bad horse when In shape. Look for
him to be near the front when the real
racing begins. May stick 1t out
SOUTHLAND BOY has been foolina
around at various routes, and while
winning no races. he has shown himself
| At. A chance here.
