Monmouth Park Race 1 - Race 1 - Claiming

BALL OF FIRE (5) bounced back last start and scored by 0.3 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner over 1710m at this track (Turf). Has his share of talent. Hard to beat again in this suitable race. RED SKY MORNING (6) produced a reasonable effort when second last start after being in contention on the corner over 1710m at this track, beaten 0.8 lengths. That followed a win at this track the start prior. Has started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. VESPARO (2) was below his best last time, finishing seventh and beaten 8 lengths over 1609m at this track (Turf). Finds a suitable assignment and can find winning form. THINGAMABOB (4) turned in a fine effort to win by 1.5 lengths at this course and distance last start which was an improvement on the first-up run. Looks well placed so expect another big run.
