Monmouth Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Claiming
DENYING (4) is in winning form after scoring as favourite last time out by 0.3 lengths over 1710m at this track (Dirt). Has three wins here. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Will prove tough to beat. SURPRISE PACKAGE (5) got the prize two runs ago at Tampa Bay Downs. Safely held last time out when third over 1609m at this track, beaten 6 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn. Has the class to take this out. GLINT (1) settled well back last start and never threatened when 13 lengths from the winner in eighth over 1308m at Aqueduct (Dirt). Ideally placed and is sure to play a major role. BRAVE BEAR (2) proved too strong two runs ago but was not as effective last time out when fourth over 1710m at this track, beaten 9 lengths. In contention this time.
