Monmouth Park Race 1 - Race 1 - Mdn Claiming
HOP TO IT (1) has been in the money at both runs this time in work and the maiden win looks imminent following a good second over 1673m at Penn National Turf (Turf) last time. Great chance to break through. SWEET SCIENCE (2) gave away a big start and never came on when resuming last start, finishing seventh and beaten 28 lengths over 1710m at this track (Turf). Finds a nice race and can take this out. LOVE IN THE HILLS (3) finished 10 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1207m at Monmouth Park three weeks ago. Steps up in journey today. Should be poised just off the lead. Will be in this for a long way. MOLLY THE GREAT (5) turned in another moderate effort last start when 11 lengths from the winner in sixth over 1207m at Delaware Park. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run 4th in a small field at Monmouth Park on July 11 over 1207m, 10 len behind Seeking Serenity carrying 56kg at $7.60. The run before that 3rd in a small field at Monmouth Park on June 27 over 1207m, 3.5 len behind Derby Hangover with 55kg at $63.40. Capable of more – worth another chance.

Comes here off a 58-day let-up. At the latest run ran last in a small field at Delaware Park on June 4 over 1207m, 11 len behind Missy Moosey carrying 55.5kg at $2.70. The race before that 4th of 8 at Tampa Bay Downs on April 10 over 1408m, 7 len behind Niecey carrying 54kg at $3. Cannot be ruled out despite a lacklustre effort last time.
