Monmouth Park Race 6 - Sapling S. Stakes
SNOWHOMISH (3) was responsible for a solid effort last time out when second in Listed grade at Delaware Park (Dirt) over 1207m, beaten 0.8 lengths. Cherry-ripe now. Extra trip a plus; hard to beat. SEA DEVIL (4) was well fancied last start over 1207m at Listed level at Delaware Park (Dirt) when fifth, beaten 3 lengths. Well placed in this easier race. Sure to be there at the finish. GORILLAZ (2) wasn't beaten far over 1308m at Saratoga (Dirt) on debut last start and may appreciate the longer journey. Not to be discounted. HES STEELIN MYLADY (7) finished third when resuming from a spell last start over 1106m at Evangeline Downs. Profiles to run well.
