Monmouth Park Race 2 - Race 2 - Claiming
BETTER WITH VINO (1) progressed nicely last time out at the second run of the campaign and finished just one length from the winner in third over 1408m at Aqueduct after being in contention on the turn. Has the ability to produce another positive result. MY LIL FLIRT (3) was quickly into stride and went on to score by 2.25 lengths last time out over 1710m at this track (Dirt). Well placed and there is no reason she cannot salute. SOUTHERN LADY (5) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when second over 1207m at this track (Dirt) after being in contention all the way after she worked home in great style. Looks well placed this line-up so expect another big run. RUBY RUBY (6) was comfortably accounted for when fourth last time out over 1710m at Monmouth Park Turf, beaten 3.5 lengths, after a win at Penn National at the previous outing. Worth plenty of thought.
