Monmouth Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Mdn Special Weight
GUITARIST (1) is a talented colt who tackled tougher grade last time, finishing 6 lengths behind Third Coast over 1609m in Listed grade at this track (Turf). Well placed in this company. MARKET TIMING (7) stepped out for his debut over 1609m at Aqueduct (Dirt) back on April 19 2025 and finished sixth, beaten 9 lengths. Will be better for that run. Leading contender. RESOLUTE (4) is a three-year-old colt who is having his first run for the John C Servis stable. Finished off last campaign with a seventh at Tampa Bay Downs Turf (Turf) five months ago. Hasn't trialled publicly but is in a nice race. Leading player expected to feature. MR HOPKINS (2) was never really a threat on debut last start over 1609m at Aqueduct Turf (Turf), finishing 10 lengths from the winner in sixth. Likely improver with blinkers added.

Was at big odds at debut, eased back early on 4th of 8 at Monmouth Park on June 7 over 1207m, 14 len behind Frostelle carrying 54kg at $32.70. Encouraging signs on debut but this looks a tough assignment.
