Monmouth Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Claiming
WOODRUFF (7) missed the placings two runs back then was never in contention last start when 14 lengths away in sixth over 1609m at Delaware Park. Ideally placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. BACKSEAT ROMANCE (9) finished out of the money when fresh from a spell two starts back then was beaten 4 lengths when sixth in a 1609m contest at Tampa Bay Downs Turf six weeks ago. This doesn't look as hard so she is perfectly placed to score. FIRST HATHOR (1) broke through for her maiden win over 1646m at Tampa Bay Downs (Dirt) last time, scoring comfortably. Shaping up nicely and she is a great chance to go back-to-back. RICHIE'S VALENTINE (8) has not won for a long while. Last raced on May 25 when beaten 15 lengths into fourth at Monmouth Park (Dirt) over 1207m. Beautifully placed and is sure to be there at the finish.

Form hard to fault. Comes off a 42 day let-up. At the latest run favourite; won by 1.3 len at Tampa Bay Downs April 26 over 1646m defeating D Orbie's Girl carrying 53.5kg at $2.70. The race before that 4th of 7 at Tampa Bay Downs on April 12 over 1646m, 7 len behind More Vino Rosa carrying 54kg at $3.50. Can go on with the job.

Most recently made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 8 at Monmouth Park on May 24 over 1710m, 2.25 len behind My Lil Flirt carrying 53kg at $9.50. The run before that won by 1.75 len at Tampa Bay Downs April 12 over 1646m defeating D Orbie's Girl carrying 54kg at $1.90. Preferred in something easier.
