Monmore Bags Race 9 - Lester Donovan Memorial Stakes
SPARTA KINGDOM (1) is long overdue for a win and in super consistent form, jumping from this trap to place last time at this track (29.11), making it three straight minors. Worth following up. ANGLESEY PRIME (2) was well supported last time but could only manage third (28.83), beaten 1.4 lengths. Expected to be in the finish again. GOOD BOBCAT (3) was safely held in tougher company last start after losing his position early at this track, but prior to that won by 3 lengths at this track (29.01) beating Bogger Una in an A5 on March 23. Goes well out of this box with a win and three minor placings. Key player if finds best. AERO WHISPER (6) boasts a solid strike-rate over this track and distance.

Below her best last time over 264m at this track (15.72) in a D2, finishing 2.25 lengths away in fourth. Boasts good form here at the journey with four wins and four minor placings from 12 tries. Makes strong appeal.
