Monmouth Park Race 5 - Red Bank S. Stakes
WIN FOR THE MONEY (4) returned from a break last start and drifted well back before closing powerfully to score over 1609m at Colonial Downs Inner Turf (Turf), getting home by 0.3 lengths. Should be in the finish again. SOUPER FORCES (5) showed little early speed then came with a powerful run to finish second when resuming last time out over 1207m at Presque Isle Downs (Synthetic). Among the top chances. J J ZO ZO (1) scored a 3 length win on turf at this track two starts ago. Followed up with a minor placing on dirt at Monmouth Park over 1710m two weeks ago. Well placed in this easier race. Sure to be competitive. SPELLCAST (6) showed good early dash last start and held on well to finish 0.3 lengths back in second over 1710m at Listed level at Penn National Turf (Turf). This is a more suitable contest and can take this out.

At the latest run eased back early on ran second last in a small field in the G3 Philip H. Iselin Stakes at Monmouth Park on August 15 over 1710m, 6 len behind Bishops Bay with 53.5kg at $21.40. Before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a 0.3 len at Monmouth Park on July 19 over 1710m defeating Khozeiress carrying 55kg at $18.90. Be tough to make an impression in this line-up.

Second-up. Comes off a 40-day let-up. First-up after eight months 2nd in a small field at Presque Isle Downs on July 28 over 1207m, 1.75 len behind Spirited Sol carrying 56kg at $3. Previously second-up won by 1.75 len at Colonial Downs Inner Turf on September 3 2025 over 1609m defeating Patrick's Promise carrying 54.5kg at $7.20.

Form hard to fault. Most recently 2nd in a small field in stakes class at Penn National Turf at Penn National Turf on August 14 over 1710m, 0.3 len behind Bartlett with 54.5kg at $8.30. The start before that won by 1.3 len at Belterra Park Turf on June 21 over 1609m defeating Just Like Rambo with 55.5kg at $1.60. Worth thought after getting close last time.
