Monmouth Park Race 6 - Sapling S. Stakes
SNOWHOMISH (3) Finished amongst the placegetters when 2nd last start at Delaware Park and going over extra ground. Daniel Centeno and Jorge Delgado command respect as a pairing. Expect to go close. SEA DEVIL (4) Gave away some ground when 5th last start at Delaware Park. Looking past the last run and racing over a longer distance. Going well this preparation and good career start. Worth consideration. HES STEELIN MYLADY (7) Put in a competitive run when placing 3rd beaten by 1 3/4L last time at Evangeline Downs and stepping up in distance. Facing stiffer opposition. Looks to be value. RAKU (8) Blitzed its rivals when winning by 3 1/2L last start at this venue and was on debut last time. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Up to these.

Was eating up the ground late to win last run at Delaware Park and has drawn the rails. Displays very good closing speed. Facing an increased distance. Can't leave out of your calculations.

Started $4.50 and ran 4th last run at Saratoga but having second career run. Have to respect the recent Danny Gargan form and drawn nicely. Challenged by more formidable competitors. Needs a lot of luck in this race.

Ran on when 2nd last start at Delaware Park and rising in distance. Daniel Centeno and Jorge Delgado are a duo to watch closely. Competing at a higher grade. Good prospects.

Started at $4.33 and couldn't stay in touch when 5th last start at Delaware Park. Looking past the last run and going over more ground. Very competitive this preparation. Strong prospects.

Finished strongly when 3rd beaten by 1 3/4L last time at Evangeline Downs and going up in trip. Have to respect the recent stable form but racing in stronger company. Goes well and could be a value opportunity.

Was a comprehensive winner by 3 1/2L last start at this track and was a debutant last start. Has shown early pace in races to date. Racing over more ground. Rates as one of the key chances.

Jumped at $28.00 and ran past a few when 4th last start at Ellis Park and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Stepping up to a higher level. Very difficult to back.
