Monmouth Park Race 6

Starter Handicap

Prize Money: $55,866

ELDEST SON (1) is a distance specialist who is poised to win after placing at his last four outings, most recently when third after he was well back on straightening over 1609m at Tampa Bay Downs Turf (Turf). Has the talent to figure prominently. ADMIRAL MO (7) went fast early and went on to score by 8 lengths when resuming last time out over 1207m at Monmouth Park (Dirt). This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is one of the chief contenders. JURISPRUDENCE (6) is progressing well this preparation. Opened with a sixth at Gulfstream Park Turf (Turf) two starts back then got the job done by 0.3 lengths as favourite last time out after being prominent at the turn over 1710m at this track (Turf). Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he deserves plenty of thought. BAYTOWN PARFAIT (4) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when second over 1673m at Gulfstream Park All Weather (Synthetic). Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. Something for the Multiples: CLASSIC JOKE (2)

Recent form sound. At the latest run 3rd of 8 at Tampa Bay Downs Turf on May 3 over 1609m, 4 len behind Resurgo carrying 55kg at $5.10. The run before that came from midfield; 2nd of 8 at Tampa Bay Downs Turf on April 18 over 1710m, 0.3 len behind Journeyman with 54kg at $2.60. Sure to be right there at the business end.

Racing second-up today. Last start ran on from midfield and won by 8 len at Monmouth Park May 10 over 1207m defeating Sebastianthe First with 55kg at $1.40. At only start last preparation held ground to the line 2nd of 7 at Gulfstream Park on January 23 over 1609m, 0.3 len behind Mustang Bay with 56kg at $1.90. Only needs to hold that form to be winning again. Improver with winning prospects.
