Monmouth Park Race 7 - Race 7 - Claiming
THUNDER CHUCK (5) raced on the speed from the outset last start and finished second, beaten 1.75 lengths, over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Perfectly placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. COUCHES BURNING (6) led throughout last time over 1207m at this track (Dirt) and scored a comfortable win. Winning jockey stays aboard and expected to feature. BONSAI WARRIOR (1) ran a strong race first up then tackled stakes-class last time and finished fifth over 1609m in the G3 Penn Mile Stakes at Penn National Turf (Turf). Well placed and is among the leading players. MUSIC ON THE RUN (3) turned in a modest performance when fifth last time out over 1207m at this track, beaten 12 lengths, after a win at Tampa Bay Downs at the previous outing. Should be thereabouts.

Comes here off a 36-day let-up. At the latest run 5th of 7 at this track on May 16 over 1207m, 12 len behind Never Count Me Out carrying 54.5kg at $3.90. The start before that won by a 0.3 len at Tampa Bay Downs April 19 over 1408m defeating Maxxander with 53.5kg at $2.50. Cannot be ruled out despite a lacklustre effort last time.

Form hard to fault. Comes here off a 42-day let-up. Most recently scored a big 11 len win at this track May 10 over 1207m defeating Royal Merit with 54kg at $4.70. The race before that rolled along in front before being edged out 3rd of 7 at Tampa Bay Downs on April 19 over 1646m, 6 len behind Prodigious with 54kg at $5.90. Big chance again now that the penny has dropped.
