Monmouth Park Race 4 - Monmouth Cup S. Stakes
KNIGHTSBRIDGE (4) was fair fresh then improved nicely last time over 1609m to finish second in the G1 Metropolitan Handicap at Saratoga (Dirt). Untried over this journey. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Among the leading chances. SKIPPYLONGSTOCKING (5) is back from a spell of 11 weeks and does go well when fresh, including a win to launch last campaign over 1710m in the G3 Harlan's Holiday Stakes at Gulfstream Park (Dirt). Makes plenty of appeal. MONEY GAME (1) is yet to taste defeat in four starts, the latest when resuming from a spell over 1811m at Saratoga (Dirt). Big chance again. ALEXANDER HELIOS (3) opened this prep last start with a fourth, beaten 1.75 lengths, over 1710m at Gulfstream Park. Usually races well second-up so can improve on his effort when resuming. One of the main contenders.

Second-up today. Not raced for 43 days. Last outing won by a nose at Saratoga June 5 over 1811m defeating Bendoog with 56kg at $3.58. At only start last preparation won by 0.8 len at Fairgrounds March 19 over 1710m defeating Tarantino with 54.5kg at $3.10. Clearly the testing material again. Improver with winning prospects.

Has won previously first-up and resumes here after a break of 11 weeks. Finished off last preparation second of 7 at Churchill Downs in the G2 Alysheba Stakes May 1 over 1710m, a 0.3 lengths behind Corporate Power with 56kg at $3.78. Previous preparation first-up won by nose Gulfstream Park G3 Harlan's Holiday Stakes December 20 over 1710m defeating Poster carrying 57kg at $3.40. Form shown last campaign makes for good reading.

Second-up. First-up after four months ran last in a small field at Penn National on July 8 over 1673m, 8 len behind Brindano with 55kg at $3.50. Previously second-up 5th of 9 at Ellis Park on August 1 over 1308m, 1.75 len behind Ravens Dream with 54kg at $9.31. Ready for improvement with that run under the belt.
