I * Horses to Watch Horses w/io impressed Daily Racing Form representatives as being ready to win; LINCOLN FIELDS MONTENEGRIN — This one has been training well for first outing and may be hard to beat in initial attempt. RED CHARGER — One-time stakes winner has been going along well in the mornings and could click if not pitted too high. PERIBROOK — Might be good enough to win an ordinary two-y jar-old race. Was well played other day, but scratched when he ran away before start. ROMAN WARBLER — Has been flashing good form in morning trials and could come through in the near future. SPUR ON — This former Chicago favorite recently buzzed three-eighths in :34%, handily, in a morning trial. SWIVEL HIPS — Seems to be in good shape . at present and look for a good effort first out. PHAR WISER — Juvenile who turned in a good effort in first start of life. Should not remain maiden for long. JANES GAL— Seems to be working up. to a good race at about one and one-sixteenth miles. Strong finisher. SKY SONG — Three-year-old who seems to be on the improve and will be dangerous when running for ,500. PRAIRIE STATE— Last outing at Lincoln Fields was very good. Is ripe and ready to get the money. BOBS PRIDE — Had some bad racing luck in recent start here or might have won. Could be worth another try. FAITHFUL RING— Has turned in a pair of seconds and could have taken both with better break in luck. DETROIT RACE COURSE STOP GAP — Duntreath Farm sprinter retains peak form; worked four furlongs over slow track last Friday morning in :48%, handily. AVION— Hard-hitting Triple R Stable stallion is training impressively and has been six furlongs here in 1:14, handily. FLEET PATH— Duntreath Farm two-year-old gave sharp effort behind Dogoon when latter equaled five-eight mile track record. THIRTY-ONE— Lost ground in recent six-furlong outing, but finished well when straight for the drive, and belongs with ,000-grade platers. CELERITER — Trifle short when beaten at one mile and one-sixteenth and probably will improve off that race. BRIGHT SHOES — Tamarack Stable three-year-old gelding finished strongly in Philco Purse and seems due for early visit to winners ring. HARPETH MISS — Three-year-old maiden filly displayed high speed on muddy track before bowing to Mr. Secretary and should graduate at early date. EPIC KING — Four-year-old colt from the Woodcock Stable was never better and dockers caught him in 1:13 for three-quarters mile. LORI-JANE— Crack three-year-old filly is rapidly approaching peak form; worked five-eighths here in 1:00, handily. BLACK BILLINGS— VanBerg stable three-year-old maiden improves with racing and appears ready to garner initial brackets. BITSY-BOO— Three-year-old maiden filly bore out last start, but will be hard to whip next outing. YOUNG FELLOW— Rodriguez three-year-old colt can handle muddy or dry strip; just missed against ,500 platers last week. AQUEDUCT ALL IS WELL — Disappointed last time at short odds, but should atone for that setback at next asking if not too ambitiously placed. EDNAS PICK— Slight drop in classification is all required to assure victory for this better-than-average sprinter. MR. MIDNIGHT— Appeared a trifle short in first start following long period of activity. That one may have served as the necessary tightener. PLEIADES — Has been close up in recent starts and appears ready to turn back 0,000 rivals. FULL FLIGHT— Lugged in during stretch run in start behind Ordained, which most likely cost the victory. Merits chance for atonement. COTE DAZUR— Two-year-old maiden has world of early speed and should not be much longer in earning initial set "of brackets. PETAL— Recent six-furlong trial in 1 : 13% would seem to indicate this one is ready for top performance. LA PEROUSE— Was shuffled back after the start last time, then was forced wide entering the stretch. Improved racing luck is all required. FASHION PAGE— This juvenile filly came from far back to earn runner-up honors iri previous stakes engagement. Tc.b for future victory. SIR MIRON — Closed resolutely in sprint event last time and appears ready for creditable distance effort. PRINCESS ROSE— Was forced to take up sharply on several occasions in previous start, but closed strongly when clear. Best suited against ,000 foes. HYPHASIS — Has been prepping splendidly for next encounter as can be evidenced ► by latest five-furlong trial completed in 1:01%, handily. NEXT STOP— Made up considerable ground last time after beginning sluggishly. Can best ,500 foes when right. PEDDIE — Was eliminated when knocked back at the start in previous start. May sceore at next asking if properly placed. MONMOUTH PARK THEE AND ME — Honest veteran could not find sufficient racing room and had no chance to finish closer in his last outing. Figures to easily turn the tables on similar company. ASSISTANCE— Sophomore filly has been making up tremendous ground in sprint efforts. Should be ready to be given, a chance over a distance. ROLLICKING LAD — Sprinter appears to be particularly suited to the fast condition of the local strip and he may ve able to take a big jump in company with successful results. YARN — Two-year- old has been working exceptionally well, but was a trifle short in his debut. Deserves consideration with the better youngsters here. LONELY WINTER— Was a paddock tip in his last Tace, but failed to enter contention after stumbling badly at the start. Worth another chance. BLESSBULL — Especially fleet three-year-old who recently arrived from New England. Holds mile track record i Suffolk Downs. NECKTIE — Gave a disappointing effort here on a fast track, but capable of defeating the same field if able to compete oyer an "off" strip. SHINING JEFF — Youngster may have been in his first local start when he broke slowly and lost distance circling on the turn. Will fit in well for ,500. ROYAL BRIAR — Particularly handsome juvenile from the Ada L. Rice stable. Tired before the finish of his race here and should improve. PALATIAL APPETITE— Gray Irish-bred is a superior turf performer and will be a tough rival for the best here. MUZZLE— Bull Dog gelding is fond of the turf and needs only the right placing to gain the laurels. ROCKINGHAM PARK TRICKY HOMER— Worked a half in :48 recently to suggest he is ready for brackets. ONEFORMYSISTER — May have been a trifle short in recent outing. Rates another chance against same caliber. AMAFOX — Showed good speed in recent bow after a long lay-off. Should improve enough to warrant consideration. REBEL SPY — Went to new owner from last and may prove a good claim. Was making up ground steadily on fair sprinters. PEAS PUDIN HOT— Went well when pitted rather high in last start. Is capable of handling mediocre sophomores at any distance. COMMAND ME — Rates another chance after the poor racing luck encountered when ground broke out and caused him to fall in last. ARMED BANDIT— Has been- displaying steady improvement and should earn a purse in near future. CEE VEE — Lost a close one in recent outing when rider changed course and lost enough ground to more than make up for the defeat. BILLS SUN — A cheap plater who showed his best race recently and may be attaining peak. LORD JEFFERY — The manner in which this one won his last would suggest hel should continue his winning ways. SUPER TOY — A promising juvenile who is j sure to improve over his debut. DELAWARE PARK LOUGH REE — Han :led maidens with ridiculous ease and should experience no more difficulty with non-winners of two. KAYPEE— Raced well to be third in debut and should not tarry in the maiden ranks. MULLY S. — Improvement was noted in last and a muddy track would help assure victory at a mile or more. MISS BILL — Scoredjn hollow fashion over ,500 maidens and seems ready for elevation. FAR ANEASY— Good effort in first start for new owner and should beat ,000 claim-ers at a mile and a quarter. MILL TRACT— Last two races have been satisfactory and early graduation seems a probability. YAMA — Good second behind Maabrook indicates this one is ready for top effort. EUCLID — Failed to enter contention in recent sprint, but improvement can be expected with additional distance; RAIN— Pointing for the Oaks and should have little trouble in prep races. SARATOGA— Finished third in debut and should move up with the race under his girth. JOE RAY JR.— Recent good five-furlong training move indicates this one will appear in the entries shortly. VESPERS— Well-bred filly showed speed in debut and may have been in need of the effort to attain winning form. j THISTLEDOWN TIO TITO — Turned in a powerful race here Thursday and could win another at six furlongs or a mile and a sixteenth for ,000. GRANITE FLYN— Made his first start of the meeting and showed little Thursday. However, this speed merchant is capable of much better, and may be dangerous next time in a sprint offering. AIR COUNT — Appears ready to try his luck against allowance horses and, from all indications, should be able to carry on his winning ways. PADUKIAN — May be better suited at six 1 furlongs than over a route. If entered at I a shorter distance, may score for trainer Tommy Stevens. j WHITE BONES— Was sluggish in the early stages of her last engagement and it cost Charley Everitt the winning share of the j purse. If away more alertly, she will be hard to beat the next time. | RIO RIBA — Scored her first victory over this track Thursday; looked very im- pressive in winning. She may be trouble- some in the ,500-added Endurance on * Saturday. j MOVIE QUEEN — Appeared to be short in her local debut, but should score next time out for owner-trainer Daverne j Emery. CYKIE — Was away rather slowly in his first race here, then closed like the wind. This one should be ready the next time for Johnny "Trader" Clark. I OUR HESPERA — Turned in a poor effort Thursday, but figures to improve next time out. I
