Monmouth Park Race 5 - Nyra Bets Pegasus S. Stakes
PONDER AND DREAM (5) Controlled the pace to win by 4 1/4L last time Parx At Philadelphia but racing against tougher rivals. Should come to hand quickly. Capable of forward showing and can be competitive. TRICKY BUSINESS (2) Was very impressive when winning by a margin of 3 1/2L last start at Aqueduct and having second race start. Samuel Marin and George Weaver are highly regarded when paired. Respect in this event. SCHOOLYARDSUPERMAN (4) Fresh after a break. Made considerable ground when 2nd beaten by 1L last start at Aqueduct and solid career start. Won't be far away during the run. Could go well. BABY VINO (6) Was eating up the ground late to win last time at Oaklawn Park and promising career start. Showing positive results this campaign and on an upward trajectory in recent races. Should be very competitive and is a genuine threat.

Comprehensive victory when winning by 3 1/2L last time at Churchill Downs and has a nice advantage with a good barrier. Should muster plenty of early toe. Will not be far away.

Won with a leg in the air by 3 1/2L last start at Aqueduct and was a debutant last start. Jockey Samuel Marin and trainer George Weaver deserve serious attention. Commands respect.

Just missed last start at this venue but racing in stronger company. Should be swooping on the field late. Can't back with any confidence.

Picked up nicely to win last time at Oaklawn Park and putting a tidy record together. In fine form since returning from a spell. Has a good chance.
