Monmouth Park Race 2 - Race 2 - Mdn Special Weight
CRAZY DIAMOND (3) closed last campaign with back-to-back placings, the last of which was at Oaklawn Park six-and-a-half months ago. Expected to go well. FIRST MOVER (5) is a superbly bred three-year-old gelding making his first appearance at the races. By Gun Runner from Nagambie who has produced some fine gallopers, including a winner at G1 level. Comes from a stable which has an impressive strike rate with the first-starters. Looks set to make a positive start to his career despite a difficult draw. OXFORD STREET (1) is a first-starter by Uncle Mo from Exotic Notion who has in turn produced the winner of a black type. Hails from the strong juvenile stable of Jorge Delgado. Should enjoy a nice run from this draw and any market lead would add to the confidence. I'M GOING CRUISING (6) is building towards his maiden success, the latest effort a solid second over 1609m at Monmouth Park Turf (Dirt), beaten 10 lengths after being in contention on the corner. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways.

Resuming after a six-and-a-half months break. Finished off last preparation third of 7 at Oaklawn Park February 15 over 1710m, 11 len behind Publisher with 56kg at $6.70. On debut sixth of 12 at Churchill Downs September 13 over 1207m, 3.5 len behind Subito carrying 55kg at $34.93. Could prove too smart for these.

First-starter by Gun Runner out of Nagambie. Can make an immediate impact.
