Monmouth Park Race 5 - Winstar Matchmaker S. Stakes
SACRED WISH (2) last appeared when seventh over 1609m in the G2 Churchill Distaff Turf Mile Stakes at Churchill Downs (Turf) 11 weeks ago. Looks a winning chance. SEGESTA (5) is yet to fill a placing in two runs since resuming from a spell, the latest when sixth over 1609m in the G1 Just A Game Handicap at Saratoga (Turf). Cherry-ripe now and is expected to do much better. GRAYOSH (1) was well in commission last start over 1811m at Aqueduct (Turf) when fourth, beaten 6 lengths. Tougher assignment this time but still one of the main contenders. SPALIDAY (3) is a last-start winner eight weeks ago, scoring by 2.5 lengths over 1710m at this track. Big run is expected.
