Monmouth Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Claiming
TAIL RISK (4) showed good early dash and raced on the speed last start before fading to finish 6 lengths back in fifth over 1710m at this track (Turf). Sure to be prominent from the outset. FUNKY SEE FUNKY DO (2) was comfortably accounted for when eighth last time out over 1609m at Saratoga Inner Turf, beaten 4 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Finds an easier assignment and can return to winning ways. ROSCOMMON (7) was in contention on the turn and finished second last start over 1710m at this track (Turf), beaten 1.5 lengths. Yet to miss the placings in two starts over this course and distance. In the right race and is a winning hope. GABORONE (6) raced on the pace before drawing clear to score a 0.8 lengths win over this course and distance last time. Blinkers are removed. Should run well.
