Monmouth Park Race 7 - Race 7 - Allowance Optional Claiming
LE TOUCHE (2) rates on top after a last-start win at Tampa Bay Downs over 1646m, sitting handy and proving strongest late, with the step to 1673m looking logical. DYNA SOAR (3) was the runner-up in that same race after leading, and her prior Monmouth placings suggest she holds a solid claim again. EQUUS (1) brings a 1st and 3rd from two Monmouth runs and adds depth. UR DESIRE (4) wired the field in a Fair Grounds 1710m maiden two back but failed at Churchill Downs last time. CREATIVE STUFF (7) resumes off a distant last in December following a Meadowlands maiden win.

Back in trip and drops 1.5kg after a tough last start 10th of 10 at Churchill Downs over 1710m on 1 May, beaten 25.4L on fast going. Won two back at Fair Grounds over 1710m on 14 Mar (MSW 85) after settling 4th, paying $10. Blinkers go on and draws barrier 4 with Jose Antonio Gomez for Lindsay Schultz. Can improve with the softer setup.
