Monmouth Park Race 7 - Cliff Hanger S. Stakes
COSMIC YEAR (7) is a four-year-old import having his first run for the Chad C Brown yard. Last appeared when third over 1408m in the G2 Challenge Stakes at Newmarket (Rowley) eight months ago. Hasn't trialled publicly for the new connections but he can kick off with a win. NEAT (4) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when 11th, beaten 14 lengths, over 1609m at Listed level at Laurel Turf (Turf) after he travelled towards the rear of the field. Third-up record is strong and will be tough to beat. SAND PIPES (2) finished 4.5 lengths from the winner in fourth last start over 1710m at Keeneland Turf, an improvement on his fifth at Fairgrounds Turf the run before. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including two wins. Will enjoy a drop in class so he is a major player. VERSUS (6) finished third last time over 1811m at Keeneland Turf (Turf) when resuming from a spell, beaten 4 lengths. This is the right race and can get the job done.

Second run from a spell ran last of 11 at Laurel Turf in LR on April 18 over 1609m, 14 len behind Cruise The Nile carrying 54.5kg at $6.30. Fitter and should relish the step up to 1710m.
