BEST-GIDEON.
GIDEON raced with old time speed
when he outran a fair grade of platers
in his last start. He is pitted against
just bit more speed here in the shape
of the consistent MINERvUS. He did
his task so easily the other day that
he looks capable of repeating in the
first Monday. MINERVUS and the top
one appear to have the race between
them. While MINERVUS has been
bowling over goods ones with regularity,
he seems to be up against too much
IN the top one, but he should give him
hard tusSle before the numbers 60
up. THE SOUTHERNER has threat
ened good ones in his races, and al
though the route is little short for
him to show his best, he should be a
1dSG-ClOSulS LulIQ.
SKY HIGH. a fast working maiden
has found her way into the claiming
class. She meets q good band of
youngsters and 1t will be necessary for
her to run her race to beat them, but
off of some of those promising efforts
she has given us she looks best. LA
GOLONDRINA graduated with an easy
win over cheap ones last time out. She
that she looks like the one they all must
beat here. Likely to give the top one
some trouble before she gives In.
DUSKY MAIDEN goes well in mud. II
she carries her speed over the fast
going she may be among the leaders at
the finish.
LADY GOSSIP was never in better
shape. In recent sprint she outfin-
ished both CLEORA and bessie, and
as the latter two seem to form the
major part Of the opposition in this
field, she has only to duplicate that pre-
vious effort to win again. Looks like
hard one to beat. CLEORA has been
showing fine form in all her races.
Was closest to the top one in that other
field and again looks like the one to
beat. bessie might be more Of q
factor If the going turns muddy, but
she finished before.
There Is lot of speed gathered
together into the field that will 60 to
the post for the fourth. Let's try the
consistent UNCLE MATT. He has been
hard at it since January, meeting the
best of his age wherever he raced and
usually giving q good account of him.
self. Some of his races give him a faif
chance of trimming these slightly tried
speedsters. MAJOR TOM seems best
suited by slow footing, II his races may
be believed. However, we find him
hard track and anything equal to that
here would place him mighty close to
the front. FIDDLER, fast worker,
showed speed in both his starts. Ger
tain to be dangerous.
Three in this field Of maidens that
are hard to separate. SCOTT works
fast, and in a couple Of his few races
justifies the confidence of the checkers
II he can carry on over the heightened
route he should graduate in the fifth
YUCATAN is improving with each race.
While the top one easily unfinished
him in their one meeting, he has a
mighty impressive race to his credit

the trio of contenders. Hard to say
just how good the son Of Peter Pan
Is, but of trials he could be very
dangerous.
TUM ON found field and track to
her liking Thursday, and won handily.
Not so very much to beat in the sixth
Monday and another like that last eff
fort would do 1t. BLACK THUNDER
would find his chances enhanced over
slow going, but his last, over a fast
track. was a clever win. TT enough
to be the principal contender. MOL
LIE MYHILL will encounter more OPP
position from this field than she did
from the one she beat Friday. Fit and
may share In the purse.
KEITH just failed to get up in time
in his last effort. Each race finds
him closer to winning performance,
and the route here should enable him
to be the easiest kind of q winner
If he continues to improve, doubt If
there is anything in the seventh to
menace him. FIRE UNDER could get
close to him over a muddy course.
Been racing well of late, and If the
going changes In his favor will prove
the one to beat. BUSY FAIRY has
had but one race this year. Went we'll
on that occasion and is likely to be able
to offer some competition against these.
Should be third.
