Monmouth Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Claiming
SKI BUM (2) was well in commission last start over 1609m at Tampa Bay Downs Turf (Turf) when third, beaten 4 lengths. Strong winning chance. RED SKY MORNING (1) recorded a gutsy maiden victory last time out over 1609m at Tampa Bay Downs Turf (Turf), scoring by 0.8 lengths. Inside draw will assist and he is one of the main chances. STRAND ROAD (5) finished midfield when resuming from a break last start over 1408m at Aqueduct (Dirt), beaten 23 lengths. Shapes as one to consider. MAGNETO (9) is close to breaking through, last start finishing just 0.3 lengths away in second over 1673m at Gulfstream Park All Weather (Synthetic). Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways.

Form hard to fault. Comes off a 40 day let-up. Most recently favourite; won by 0.8 len at Tampa Bay Downs Turf April 15 over 1609m defeating Senor Resplandor with 55.5kg at $1.70. The race before that 2nd of 9 at Tampa Bay Downs Turf on April 3 over 1710m, 1.75 len behind Sulion with 55.5kg at $8.10. Big chance again now that the penny has dropped.

Second run back. First-up after four months 6th of 8 at Penn National Turf on May 14 over 1710m, 12 len behind Thick As Thieves carrying 52kg at $15.90. Previously second-up 5th of 10 at Aqueduct Turf on May 25 over 1710m, 6 len behind Magni with 53.5kg at $52. Unlikely to threaten.

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. Comes off a 59 day let-up. Resuming 3rd in a small field at Laurel on March 7 over 1207m, 8 len behind Robert's Moon with 57kg at $7.50. Second-up ran last in a small field at Laurel on March 27 over 1609m, 7 len behind Brindano carrying 57kg at $8.90. Likely to find this a bit tough.

Recent form sound. At the latest run tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 0.5 len at Monmouth Park May 16 over 1673m defeating Fratellone with 54kg at $3.10. The race before that raced on speed throughout when 2nd of 7 at Monmouth Park on May 9 over 1207m, 2.25 len behind Captain Oats with 54kg at $2.70. Broke through last time and is worth thought again.
