Monmouth Park Race 12 - Nyra Bets Haskell S. Stakes
JOURNALISM (2) is a model of consistency with top-three finishes at his last eight starts, most recently finishing second over 2012m at Saratoga. Nicely placed to keep the ball rolling. GOSGER (6) is a progressive three-year-old colt who hasn't raced since finishing second over 1911m in the G1 Preakness Stakes at Pimlico (Dirt) on May 17 which was the only run of that prep. Has never missed the frame when fresh from a spell in two starts. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Will give a great sight. BURNHAM SQUARE (4) drifted well back last start before winding up strongly to just miss when second over 1710m in the G3 Matt Winn Stakes at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Takes on tougher opposition this time but he should be involved in the finish. BRACKET BUSTER (1) raced on the pace over 1710m in stakes class at this track (Dirt) last time and went on to win by 7 lengths. Has been in solid form this campaign with a win and a placing from three starts. Must be respected.
