Monmouth Park Race 2 - Race 2 - Maiden Special Weight
KISS ME SLOW (3) resumes from a spell of six months and is having her first outing under new trainer Anthony R Margotta Jr. Finished sixth at Tampa Bay Downs (Dirt) over 1308m at the opening run last time in work. Sure to take some beating. RISUKO (7) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when second over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Likely to spot them a start but charge late. Likely improver with strong prospects. ALWAYS AUTHENTIC (5) turned in a moderate debut over 1207m at this track (Dirt) on July 19 when she was safely held in fifth, 9 lengths from the winner. Will take a lot from that experience. Top-three chance. ESTEFANIA LIGHT (1) is a three-year-old filly on debut from the stable of Juan Carlos Avila. By Complexity from No Show Rose. Worth watching for a betting push.
