Monmouth Park Race 2

Mdn Special Weight

Prize Money: $58,488

JOHNNY HOCKEY (6) was prominent until they straightened last time but weakened to finish fourth over 1207m at Saratoga (Dirt). This looks a nice race so expect him to be right in the finish. SIX STITCHES (1) was well fancied on debut last start and was not far off the mark, finishing second and beaten 3.5 lengths over 1006m at this track (Dirt). Likely improver who should go well. HONEST OWEN (4) faced the starter for the first time last start and was just fair in finishing sixth at Saratoga (Dirt) over 1106m, beaten 9 lengths. Capable of much more this time. THE MUSKETEER (9) is facing the starter for the first time. By Practical Joke and is out of the Juan Carlos Avila stable. Pay to watch for any positive betting moves.

Was well-supported at debut, 2nd in a small field at this track on July 17 over 1006m, 3.5 len behind Raku carrying 53kg at $3.30. Probable improver with bright prospects.

Two-year-old colt who is first starter by Upstart out of Pure Rhythm. A bold showing is likely.

Raced two times to date. At big odds at debut, got back early 5th of 7 at Aqueduct on June 25 over 1106m, 20 len behind Flight Command carrying 56kg at $45.39. Second-up ran last of 10 at Saratoga on July 19 over 1106m, 12 len behind Braums Run with 56kg at $51. Others appeal more heading into this.
