Monmouth Park Race 5 - Race 5 - Claiming
STICK SHIFT (3) got the prize two runs ago at Fairgrounds. Not as effective last time out when fourth over 1408m at Evangeline Downs, beaten 9 lengths after being in contention on the bend. Will enjoy a drop in class so he can recapture winning form. JUST BE HONEST (4) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a nice race last time out, finishing third and beaten only 1.5 lengths over 1609m at Parx (Dirt). Perfectly placed and is sure to be there at the finish. STRAND ROAD (5) finished 5 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1207m at Aqueduct five weeks ago. Steps up in distance today. Strong top-three chance. BROWN DON'T STOP (7) met with solid support last time out but could only manage to finish fifth over 1710m at this track (Dirt) in a disappointing performance. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. Something for the Multiples: LAKE CHAPALA (1)
