Monmouth Park Race 4 - Race 4 - Claiming
THUNDER CHUCK (11) was an emphatic winner last time over 1207m at Monmouth Park (Dirt) with today's rider Carlos Eduardo Rojas engaged. Has been in sound form this prep with a win and four minor placings from eight outings. Sure to run well. LUCKY TWIST (5) was far from disgraced when fourth last start over 1006m at this track, beaten 2.5 lengths after he did his best work in the closing stages. That followed a win at this track the start prior. Finds an easier assignment and can get the job done. TWIRLING EXPRESS (6) finished out of the money two starts back then he was always well out of his ground and was beaten 2.75 lengths when fifth over 1006m at this track three-and-a-half weeks ago. Won't find this as tough so he is one of the main contenders. IDENTITY CRISIS (7) was well in commission last time but ran below expectations when seventh and beaten 3.5 lengths over 1006m at this track (Turf). Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Not to be discounted.

Comes here off a 29-day let-up. Last start 3rd in a small field at Monmouth Park on July 11 over 1207m, 3.5 len behind Island Spirit carrying 55.5kg at $3.40. The run before that 4th in a small field at Monmouth Park on June 20 over 1207m, 7 len behind Island Spirit with 55.5kg at $7.30. Not doing enough to threaten the top few today.

Recent form sound. Last start 4th of 7 at this track on July 17 over 1006m, 2.5 len behind Korrongo carrying 55kg at $4.70. The race before that ran on from midfield and won by 0.5 len at this track May 31 over 1106m defeating Identity Crisis with 55kg at $3.90. Can improve on that reasonable effort last time out.

Resuming. Only had one start last campaign ran last in a small field at Penn National on May 20 over 1006m, 12 len behind Artist Mark carrying 54.5kg at $10.40.

Comes off a 60 day let-up. At the latest run ran second last in a small field at Penn National on June 10 over 1006m, 11 len behind Robert's Moon carrying 54.5kg at $12.30. Before that 2nd in a small field at Penn National on May 20 over 1006m, 6 len behind Artist Mark carrying 56kg at $17.20. Might just find this lot a bit smart.
