BEST-SKY HIGH.
Only three or four real contenders
among the many named for the first
Chief of these is ADELOT, a youngster
that has given creditable performance
in most Of his few races. His latest
effort shows him beaten by a harrow
margin by such as Foreign Relations
A race equal to that would win here
WINGING is improving with racing.
Has smattering of class, and when
right belongs in better company than
this. Additional improvement would
make the result close. FUSS AND
FEATHERS trimmed the latter handily
last time they met, but there should
be little separating them this time, and
believe the order of that last finish
should be reversed Monday.
Expect to see ZURICH break on top
of her field and never be headed. The
fast-working fllly has had enough rae
ing education to have her seasoned for
winning effort. She has shown Sor-e
of her speed in public, and this looks
like the spot for her to graduate. UNI
BRIAN PRINCESS is reported to be
promising filly. Bred to run, she was
given an easy race in her first outing,
and if she is in racing mood Monday
she should prove the one to put away.
VERMICULITE has several encourag-
ing efforts in the records. Been long
time winning her purse. A dangerous
contender.
WOOLORAC, a smart fellow when
IL form, has won his last two galloping.
He takes on field full of possibilities in
the third, but if he continues his speedy
ways he could be a tough one to beat.
MAYOR WALKER has raced himself
into condition. Won't be long winning
a heat if he continues meeting this
sort. He is the one to fear, and any
more improvement might upset our fig-
ures. DOUBLE o has some fiasfy
races in mud to his credit, but he is
not Handicapped by any particular track
conditions. Certain TO offer plenty of
opposition.
SKY HIGH has been knocking at the
door long enough. Only nosed out last
time, and that had been preceded by
numerous good efforts. Appears to have
a substantial edge over her opposition
in the fourth and another of her good
races would win for her. SURCEASE
has been threatening this sort in her
races and. while she does not quite
appear capable of holding the top one,
she is likely to prove the most stubborn
of the opposition TEASPOON failed
last time when made the choice over
the top one. Finished way back, but
the race was too bad to be believed.
Her true form would place her with the
leaders.
Same set of handicap stars meet here
as in several previous races. The
weights juggle bit each time, and
they are so closely matched that it Is
always hard to forecast the winner.
MARTINIQUE was the winner last
time the act was staged. Has steadily
improved throughout the Spring and is
now at the peak of her form. Takes
up no weight, and should be a hard
one to beat. EASTER STOCKINGS
disappointed in the race mentioned, but
her previous form had been good enough
to make her the second choice. Should
she race with her usual speed she
might redeem herself. ROYAL JULIAN
was never in better shape. Always a
menace. he has TO be given serious
consideration. He might surprise.
Clever collection of fast 3-year-olds
are asked to travel the three-uuarter
route. Looks as though the race might
resolve itself into a contest between
THE CHOCTAW and PORT HARLEM.
The former has been racing steadily
with good ones and IS ripe to run of
from such as these. Has enough class
to make him the winner. Port Harlem
displayed some keen efforts at Churchill.
Had a rest since. OF her best form
she is the one to fear. PLUMBAGO
also has been away from racing for
several weeks. His last effort entities
him to a place with the leaders. A
real contender.
We have to choose between DAN
BURNHAM and KADIAK in the last.
The former was the winner in their
last meeting On that occasion the
was making his first start of the year.
Here he has an eighth of mile further
to go, and he is meeting an animal with
a race under his belt as a conditioner.
However, Dan is game colt, with plen-
ty of good races In his book. against
better than these He should reneat."
CHUM has been going along steadily in
his racing. His most recent effort was
good enough to land him q part of this
purse. Should be third.
