Monmouth Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Maiden Claiming
MAN WITH THE MONEY (8) is building towards a maiden win after minor placings at his last two runs, the latest when third over 1006m at Gulfstream Park All Weather (Synthetic), beaten 3.5 lengths. Top chance. GHOSTWRITER (9) will find this a little easier than his second on debut three weeks ago, beaten 0.3 lengths at the end of 1106m at Tampa Bay Downs (Dirt). Promising type with improvement to come so he is worth following up. BALTIC (6) raced on the speed and was game in defeat when a close second last start over 1106m at Laurel Turf (Turf). Has registered four minor placings from six runs this preparation. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. One of the main contenders. WAITIN'ONASUNNYDAY (5) was prominent at the turn and finished third last start over 1408m at Aqueduct (Dirt), beaten 5.5 lengths. Should take a lot from that hit-out. Placed to advantage and can run a bold race.

Third-up today. Not raced for 48 days. First-up sat on the pace when 3rd of 7 at Laurel on February 27 over 1106m, 3 len behind Time For America carrying 56kg at $3.20. Last start ran last of 7 at Laurel on March 29 over 1710m, 24 len behind Twin Lakes with 56kg at $10. Not doing enough to threaten the top few today.
