Monmouth Park Race 5 - Race 5 - Allowance Optional Claiming
MIDWAY MEMORIES (5) gets a change of rider and has been freshened up since finishing 11th over 1710m at Churchill Downs Turf (Turf) last start. Last run worth forgiving. Can atone. SONJA HENIE (9) returned from a spell six weeks ago when she was beaten 5.5 lengths into seventh over 1710m at Saratoga Turf. Strips fitter and can take this out. MID SUMMER (10) was a determined maiden winner last time out, scoring by 0.1 lengths over 1710m at Laurel Turf (Turf). Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Jumps from a wide draw but she is definitely worth including. JOLLY JOLENE (6) returned from a spell three-and-a-half weeks ago when she was beaten 3 lengths into fourth over 1609m at Delaware Park Turf. Fitter so anticipating a better run this time.

Last start eased back early on 3rd in a small field at Delaware Park on July 10 over 1207m, 0.4 len behind Capricorn Belle carrying 56kg at $10.70. The race before that 5th of 7 at Monmouth Park on June 13 over 1207m, 13 len behind She's A Gamer with 55kg at $46.60. Close-up last start but this looks a stretch.

At only start last preparation held ground to the line 2nd of 8 at Tampa Bay Downs Turf on March 28 over 1609m, 5 len behind Portfolio Duration with 54kg at $13.40.
