Monmouth Park Race 1 - Race 1 - Maiden Special Weight
GUITARIST (6) found one marginally better when fresh from a break last start over 1710m at Gulfstream Park All Weather (Synthetic) after being prominent throughout. This doesn't look as hard so he is all set to find the winners' list. TIFOSI (5) is backing up quickly after finishing in the money at Monmouth Park (Dirt) over 1673m just eight days ago. Good effort last start and should prove tough to beat. NOBLE HERITAGE (1) is getting close to a win based on some solid recent form, the latest effort a third over 1673m at Listed level at Monmouth Park (Dirt) against tougher opposition. Worth including. GHOSTWRITER (3) is a promising type who was in the placings on debut before a fourth last time over 1106m at this track (Turf). Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Don't underestimate.
