Monmouth Park Race 7 - Race 7 - Allowance Optional Claiming
CAPITAN DANNY (7) made it back-to-back wins when successful last start over 1710m at Gulfstream Park (Dirt), getting home by half a length. Finds a suitable assignment and can get the job done again. RACING DRIVER (3) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at Gulfstream Park (Dirt) over 1609m after being in the firing line all the way. Finds the right race this time and can get the job done. STRAIGHT ARROW (6) has been about the mark of late. Last time out was 2.5 lengths from the winner in fifth over 1207m at Aqueduct Inner Turf (Turf). Going well and he is ideally placed to score. TOP GUN ROCKET (4) finished fourth over 1408m at Aqueduct (Dirt) at his most recent appearance on February 4. Hasn't scored when fresh from a break but generally races well with two minor placings. Definite top-three chance.

Third-up today. Not raced for 36 days. First-up ran on from midfield and won by 5 len at this track June 6 over 1207m defeating Cold Feet carrying 55kg at $2.90. Last start ran second last in a small field at this track on June 13 over 1207m, 11 len behind Twelve Treasures with 56kg at $12.50. Might just find this lot a bit smart.

Form hard to fault. Returns from a 36-day let-up. Most recently 4th in a small field at this track on June 13 over 1207m, 9 len behind Twelve Treasures with 55kg at $3.60. The run before that held ground to the line 2nd of 7 at Tampa Bay Downs on April 25 over 1408m, 0.8 len behind Chrome Ghost with 53.5kg at $8.40. Can do a lot better than that last run.

Form hard to fault. Last start sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 7 at Gulfstream Park on July 3 over 1609m, 3 len behind Back Em Up with 55kg at $6.90. The race before that 3rd in a small field at Gulfstream Park on May 31 over 1710m, 0.8 len behind Capitan Danny carrying 56kg at $6.80. Good effort last start and can build on that performance.

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. First-up 5th of 12 at Saratoga Turf on June 5 over 1106m, 2.25 len behind Determined Kingdom with 57kg at $65.80. Second run from a spell ran second last in a small field at Aqueduct Inner Turf on June 20 over 1207m, 2.5 len behind Keewaydin carrying 55kg at $5.19. Genuine contender under these conditions.

Chasing a hat-trick. Comes here off a 49-day let-up. Last start won by 0.5 len at Gulfstream Park May 31 over 1710m defeating Steal Sunshine with 56kg at $7.20. The run before that came from midfield and won by 0.8 len at Tampa Bay Downs April 8 over 1646m defeating Passioned carrying 54kg at $1.50. Plenty to like about his prospects.
