Monmouth Park Race 1 - Race 1 - Claiming
LUCKY TWIST (1) pushed forward last time and battled on gamely to finish just 0.3 lengths from the winner in second over 1308m at Tampa Bay Downs (Dirt) when fresh from a break. Finds a more suitable contest and can take the next step and salute. IDENTITY CRISIS (2) has not appeared since he finished fifth over 1207m at Gulfstream Park (Dirt) on February 15. Comes here with definite claims. JOHNNY COME LATELY (4) is back from a spell of 14 months. Closed last prep with a eighth, beaten 6 lengths, over 1106m at Keeneland Turf. Has definite claims. STRAND ROAD (3) is back from a break of nine weeks. Raced below par at his only appearance last prep when sixth over 1408m at Aqueduct (Dirt). Definite top-three chance.
