Monmouth Park Race 13 - Race 13 - Allowance Optional Claiming
COPPER GHOST (2) ran well below his best last time over 1710m at this track (Turf), beaten 2.75 lengths into seventh at $5.70. Can atone for that last run. MONGOLIAN APPLE (6) finished fourth two runs back at Laurel Turf (Turf) then improved last time out to score by 0.8 lengths after being prominent at the turn over 1609m at Laurel Turf (Turf). Likely to be there at the finish again. DOUBLE NEAT (7) finished fourth last time out over 1509m at Delaware Park Turf, beaten 3 lengths. Definite chance. ORATOR (8) turned things around last start and scored by one length over 1710m at Laurel Turf (Turf). Solid top-three prospects.

Dual acceptor. Comes here off a 35-day let-up. Most recently 7th of 10 at this track on June 13 over 1710m, 2.75 len behind Relative Value with 55kg at $5.70. Before that ran on from midfield and won by 1.5 len at Laurel Turf April 12 over 1710m defeating Munny Problem carrying 57kg at $2.60. Not a bad effort last time and is open to improvement.

At the latest run won by 5 len at Finger Lakes June 30 over 1673m defeating Take The Gold with 55.5kg at $3.68. The start before that set the pace for much of the race 2nd of 7 at Aqueduct on June 13 over 1609m, 1.0 len behind Grand Commander with 57kg at $6.20. Even the minor placings look out of reach.
