JALNA, a fast-working Ally, out Of
the Mclean barn, has been dropped
into a field of maidens in the first. Had
two races, and though on neither oc-
casion has she raced to trials, she may
be expected TO show enough speed to
down this company. MABLE BASIL is
gradually moving up to a winning race
Lost her last by whisker. Might be
more speed in this party, but she is
possibility. MIN THE NYPMH threat
ems each time. Should be close up with
these.
SILVERDALE continues to improve
with each race. Won his last handily
and although the field in the second
will offer more severe opposition than
he encountered previously. believe he
has enough foot to keep on the front
end to the finish. HOT SHOT recently
won In comparatively fast time. Taking
a line from that effort, he should be
the one to beat and over a slow track
might be able to catch the top one.
VIRADO runs some good races when
right. Rates close to the front when
matched with these. and If ready for.
his best may be tough one to beat.
Very dangerous.
ONUP has been racing as If she
would go we'll in this tough field. Her
two races at Lexington stamp her as
dead At. While the third race is very
open, she appears to have a slight edge
of of recent good form. POLLYWOG
is rapidly assuming best form. A handy
sort of platter. he should be able to give
a good account Of himself here. STARS
good ones last time. Another like that
would cause trouble.
GERALD, a fast worker, has been
pitted against good field in the fourth
If he lives up to advance notices about
his speed he can do 1t, but he must
really run to trim MISS PEGGY. The
ton. and off of her good races there
will be a hard one for anything In here
to stop. Maybe the top one can do It,.
SURCEASE has shown two good races.
Last was even better than the dope
indicates. Evidently a good one, and
likely to figure in the results.
Despite his last rather disappointing
race. It seems as II BOO could take the
purse in the fifth. Should he be any
where near his best form he would get
the call. BARBARA has won both Of
her starts this Spring, both In fast time,
but she meets more speed In the top
one than in the fields she defeated.
CHICAGO is likely to benefit from his
hard race of Thursday, but he has al
ways been somewhat unreliable. Might
upset the dope II he shows any i'm
provement.
BORIS has shown enough In his
races here to warrant taking him to
outrun the classy field in the sixth.
While he can not afford to loaf, he
seems capable of turning the trick.
GOLDEN RACKET is the one to fear.
Should he race with as much speed as
he displayed last Fall, he may be a
hard one to put away. BEAUREGARD
has had O race as a conditioner and
might be able to offer serious contention.
A chance If ready.
GEORGE McCRANN has not run a
bad race in any Of his four recent
starts. Only needs to continue his con-
sistent ways to take down the purse in
the last. Looks best. TYROL should
be the better for his effort behind
sprinters last time Certain to show
improvement and is apt to be the one
to beat. BIG CHIEF uncorks real
speed occasionally Well placed in
this field, he might be a menacing
factor.
