Monmouth Park Race 2 - Race 2 - Mdn Special Weight
JOHNNY HOCKEY (6) was prominent until they straightened last time but weakened to finish fourth over 1207m at Saratoga (Dirt). This looks a nice race so expect him to be right in the finish. SIX STITCHES (1) was well fancied on debut last start and was not far off the mark, finishing second and beaten 3.5 lengths over 1006m at this track (Dirt). Likely improver who should go well. HONEST OWEN (4) faced the starter for the first time last start and was just fair in finishing sixth at Saratoga (Dirt) over 1106m, beaten 9 lengths. Capable of much more this time. THE MUSKETEER (9) is facing the starter for the first time. By Practical Joke and is out of the Juan Carlos Avila stable. Pay to watch for any positive betting moves.
