Monmouth Park Race 12 - Nyra Bets Haskell S. Stakes
FURTHER ADO (2) led throughout last time over 1710m in the G3 Matt Winn Stakes at Churchill Downs (Dirt) and scored a comfortable win. Same winning combination here and is a leading contender. NAPOLEON SOLO (6) saluted over 1911m in the G1 Preakness Stakes at Laurel (Dirt) at his most recent appearance on May 16. Sure to make his presence felt. OCELLI (7) was thereabouts last time out when second in the G3 Ohio Derby at Thistledown (Dirt) over 1811m, beaten one length. Tyler Gaffalione stays aboard and although yet to win has been in the money on two occasions. One of the main contenders. IRON HONOR (5) is a promising galloper who resumes from a break. Last raced when second over 1911m in the G1 Preakness Stakes at Laurel (Dirt) nine weeks ago which was the only run of that prep. Has never been out of the placings first up from two tries. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Solid claims on best form.
