Monmouth Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Maiden Special Weight
STURDY (5) raced on the speed from the outset when resuming last start and finished third, beaten 5 lengths, over 1811m at Saratoga (Dirt). This is an easier assignment and can get the job done. BRIDOZA (2) could only manage second as favourite last start over 1609m at this track (Dirt) after being prominent at the bend, making it three minor placings from six starts this campaign. Kept fresh since the last run. Good chance to break through. ATROCIOUS (8) is a 16-start maiden who was in the placings at his last two starts, finishing third at the latest appearance over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Goes well at this trip, recording four minor placings and shapes as a key runner. MR FUNTASTICO (4) finished 3 lengths away in fifth at his last appearance over 1710m at Colonial Downs (Turf) on July 31. Finds the right race and is worth consideration.
