Monmouth Park Race 8 - New Jersey Breeders H. Stakes
J J ZO ZO (3) returned to winning form as favourite last start, scoring by 1.5 lengths over today's journey at this track (Dirt). Has started four times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Rates highly and should go well. SPEAKING (8) won at this track and distance at his last outing three-and-a-half months ago. Looks a winning chance. PROTECTED (4) made it three wins in succession last time out when he scored by a nose over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Finds a tougher race but he has the talent to test this line-up. GREAT NAVIGATOR (1) finished last campaign with a couple of minor placings, the latest over 1609m at this track 11 weeks ago. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Don't underestimate.
