Monmore Bags Race 8

Race 8

Prize Money: $890

BOXING FRIENDS (5) has a fair record and proved too classy last time to win by 0.8 lengths at this track in a handy 29.39 beating Bang On Big Mick. Expected to be right there at the finish again. CHAKRA (4) is better than last start when fourth (28.91) from Box 5 at this track over 480m. Has a strong record from box 4, including four wins. Can figure in the finish. BUNDORAN (6) jumps from trap 6 again after placing (28.93) last time at this track over 480m. Should be in this for a long way. FIFTY (3) cannot be written off despite a miss here at his latest outing.

Good effort to score last start by half a length over 264m at this track in 15.93, beating Vixons Cocktail. Can't recommend him in this.

Winner two starts back at this track when scoring by 0.8 lengths in 29.31. Last start finished 5th on February 5 over 480m at this track behind Skylars Vision beaten 4 lengths (29.18) in an A3. This looks too tough.

Races well at this course and distance. Last start finished last on February 12 over 480m at this track behind Stonepark Delta beaten 5 lengths (29.16) in an A3. Mixing his form but shapes as a genuine contender under these conditions.

Winner two starts back at this track when scoring by 2.5 lengths in 28.98. Last start finished 4th in an A3 on February 10 over 480m at this track behind Wilma Rudolph beaten 6 lengths (28.91). Better than that and worth following up.

Solid effort after racing in the second half of the field and improving to score in an A4 by 0.8 len at this track over 480m (29.39). Has an excellent 28.61 best time at this course and distance. Big chance.

Got back early in the race last start when third over 480m at this track. Before that won comfortably by 4 lengths at this track (29.28) beating Whisky Trader in an A4 on February 7. Hasn't been far away. Don't underestimate.
