Monmouth Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Claiming
DESPERATE PROPOSAL (4) turned in a eye-catching run when resuming last start over 1710m at Laurel Turf (Turf), winding up hard from well back on straightening to finish a close second. Watch for another barnstorming finish. THREE PERCENT (1) finished 0.7 lengths from the winner in fourth last start after being prominent at the corner over 1609m at Aqueduct Turf, an improvement on his sixth at Tampa Bay Downs Turf the run before. Faces an easier assignment so he is likely to play a big role. MANOAH'S GLORY (9) settled well back and never came on when resuming last start, finishing seventh and beaten 7 lengths over 1609m at Gulfstream Park Turf (Turf). Perfectly placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. COPERNIUM (3) scored last start at Gulfstream Park All Weather (Synthetic) to make it two wins from three starts this campaign. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Sure to be thereabouts.

Second-up. First-up after three months ran last of 7 at Gulfstream Park Turf on April 17 over 1609m, 7 len behind Ababajoni with 56kg at $15.10. Previously second-up got back early second last in a small field at Monmouth Park on July 26 over 1006m, 2.5 len behind Sculcos Folly with 53.5kg at $2.60. Even fitter and is an excellent winning chance.
