Monmore Race 8

Race 8

Prize Money: $865

LONGACRES KING (3) recorded a one length win (15.42) in a D1 last time at Monmore. Yet to taste defeat in four runs from this trap. Has the ability and looks a key chance here. KNOCK BEESWING (2) wasn't far away at the finish when 4th and beaten only 1.75 lengths (16.05) at Monmore. Shapes as one to consider. WHISKY FLAME (5) is a consistent type who is new here. Last start winner off trap five, scoring by one length at Monmore over 264m (15.89). Leading chance again. ZENGA (1) is new to this circuit but should be in the mix.

Racing well of late. In the money two starts back at Monmore then finished runner-up at his latest appearance in an A2 at Monmore over 480m (28.86). Decent recent form so demands respect.

In sparkling form at the moment, having scored three on the trot. Clocked the fastest time on the card latest with a 15.42 success over 264m at Monmore. Yet to be beaten in four starts out of this trap. Sure to go well.

Consistent performer who is new here. Nice win last start by one length at Monmore (15.89) beating Ruinthelonggame in a D1 on January 17. In winning form now and looks a major threat.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to be beaten just one length into second over 264m at Monmore. Cannot enthuse despite that better recent effort.
