Monmouth Park Race 3 - Race 3 - Claiming
NO DENYING (3) comes here off a debut win, scoring by 11 lengths over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Nice weight drop this time around. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Expected to be in the finish. FOIL (5) led throughout last start to score an effortless 14 lengths win over 1308m at Parx (Dirt). Should measure up again. ESSENTIALLY FAST (4) made progress last time out, finishing 3 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1207m at Delaware Park after being in the firing line on the corner. Looks well placed so expect another big run. WIN WINNIE WIN (6) was beaten 5 lengths into fourth in a 1106m contest at Tampa Bay Downs last time out. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time.
