TOO HIGH meets just about the
right kind of speed Monday to suit her
AGILITY. She has been wasting her
energy chasing speedier ones. We NAV
see her flash enough against this field
to have her on the front end all the
way. PLEASE ran dismal race Friday,
in view of his previous promising eff
forts. Perhaps he did not favor the
going. II he races back to those better
performances he will be the one to beat.
WOOD GOD has threatened many
times, but has yet to win his maiden
victory. A contender again.
HOT TODDY will be favored by the
route, and his races show him to be in
such splendid shape that he needs
only do his best to keep this field be-
hind him. He looks like the winner.
CHERRY PIE has as much foot at
present as he ever had. He rates close
to the front of such as this and he has
only the top one to cope with for all
the money. IOLLAN shows improved
form since coming here. A chance in
his present condition.
JEAN LAFITTE did very we'll in his
last two at Arlington. This fellow was
very fast worker in Maryland this
Spring. He is just coming into his own.
If he races to good Chicago races he
can beat the more or less cheap OPP
position he finds here. POMFRET
shows little speed against better ones.
He is likely to race in improved form
against this field and he is the danger
Gus contender. BOB SHANNON looms
up as a menace of Of some Of his best
races. He possesses enough speed to
give him a fighting chance for all the
money.
PETEE WRACK just missed getting
nose decision from Osmand in his last
outing. The good colt is at top form
at present, and despite his crushing i'm
post and the splendid field he opposes,
he looks much the best. He should be
able to grab the lead whenever ready
and hold 1t until the finish. FINITE
has been sharpened by recent hard
racing, and is as good as he ever was.
to make him worthy opponent.
HEALY has been showing excellent
speed in all his races. He has been
hard at 1t with little or no let up since
early Spring. Several of his wins were
in the nature of gifts, but he has some
victories over good ones to his credit
Not to be considered lightly in any
company.
GADALONG likes the longer routes.
The further they go the better he is.
His most recent try at this distance
labels him the logical choice over his
field Monday. Another race as good as
that would win for him. KEYDET, a
mighty shifty fellow when in shape, has
scored over high-class platers recently.
He has little real opposition outside of
the top one and he may prove the one
to beat. BUNTARIS drops back peg
to land in q field of his own kind. He
is dangerous off of his Canadian races.
PERICLES started only once, and on
that occasion he relinquiShed the lead
we'll into the stretch. He has some
fast-working colts to beat Monday, but
he appears to be the class of the field.
DUNROCK is just fair sort of young
ster, but dead At. He has threatened
three times in row, and OIL OF those
performances gets a look-in with his
field. DABSTAR works swiftly. II he
Is out there trying his best in his in
itial effort they will all have him to
stop. LADY TONEY, a half-sister to
Vito, might figure in the result.
The last looks like it might develop
into a battle between PEACE and
BLACK NANNY. Both are about
ready to graduate, and there is little
to choose between them. The first
named made the pace for her winning
stablemate in her last start, and was
only beaten a scant margin for the
long end of the purse. The shortened
distance here may enable her to stick
it out until the finish. BLACK NANNY
has had a couple of races that should
serve as conditioners for this effort.
DISCOLORED has not yet raced to
best form. A flash of his real speed
would land him part Of this purse.
