Monmouth Park Race 3 - Race 3 - Claiming
TOCAYO (9) is returning from a spell of seven months. Finished fifth at Gulfstream Park Turf (Turf) over 1609m at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer Juan Carlos Avila. Best fresh figures put him right in this. BRAVE BEAR (11) flew the gates and led throughout to score by 1.5 lengths last start over today's journey at Monmouth Park (Dirt). Expected to take some stopping again. SIX FORTYFIVE (3) has been out of the money at his last couple, the latest when ninth at Aqueduct Turf (Turf). Getting down in the weights now. Better placed and can bounce back to form. BAR FOURTEEN (1) is close to a win on the back of a string of recent placings, the latest a narrow defeat over 1710m at Aqueduct Turf (Turf). Hard to leave out.
