Monmore Race 8

Race 8

Prize Money: $707

ESSEX RULER (3) hit the ground running from this same draw last time and led all the way to score (29.70) in an A8 over 480m at Monmore. Can continue winning ways. COPPICE ISSIE (2) comes off an average performance last start when fifth at Monmore over 480m behind Vixons Bagheera (30.04) in an A7. Was in the money prior to that. Comes out of a solid form race last start. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. BANG ON KELSIE (6) went straight to the front and never headed when winning two back but could manage only midfield last time when finished 5th and beaten 8 lengths at Monmore (29.74). One of the better hopes. MAGS BOLGER (4) is heading the right way. Out of the placings two back then scored by one length last start at Monmore over 480m (29.29). Rises a grade but can measure up with repeat of latest.
