Monmouth Park Race 5

Charles Hesse Iii H. Stakes

Prize Money: $193,798

RIDING PRETTY (4) was an emphatic winner last time over 1609m in Listed grade at this track (Turf) with today's rider Samuel Marin engaged. Has been in solid form this campaign with a win and a placing from three starts. Should be hard to stop. WILDNCRAZYNIGHT (3) has been freshened up since a disappointing eighth over 1811m in the G1 Haskell Invitational at this track (Dirt) five weeks ago. Can bounce back. LAST ROMANCE (6) was beaten just a nose last start when second in a small field over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Hasn't been far away this time in work with three minor placings from four starts. Strong claims on best figures. FOREVER CHOCOLATE (7) finished third last start over 1609m at this track (Dirt), beaten 2 lengths. Going up a level this time but he deserves his chance.
