Monmore Race 12

Ladbrokes.com 264- Heat 2

Prize Money: $1,223

ONLY LIVE ONCE (5) looks overdue after a minor placing two back then finishing runner-up at his latest appearance in a OR at Valley over 460m (28.74). Will find this far easier and looks tough to beat on best. CRAFTY ALEJANDRO (3) is a capable type and proved too classy last time to win by 2 lengths at Towcester in a handy 15.62 beating Broadway Murty. Recorded the quickest time on the card last start. Makes plenty of appeal on the back of that last-start win. LONGACRES KING (4) goes very well this trip starting 10 times for four wins and three minors. Below best last time at Monmore (15.95) in a D1, finishing a 4 length fifth. Suited here and expected to run well. LONGACRES ARLES (6) warrants respect although new to this track.

Not seen at best last start when she finished 4th over 225m at Romford beaten 5 lengths (13.77) behind Nightingale Crew in a OR on February 6. Happy enough to avoid.

Racing well of late. In the money two starts back at Monmore then finished runner-up at his latest appearance in a D2 at Monmore over 264m (15.58). In form but this might be too tough.

In the money at Valley at his last couple of starts, most recently finishing second over 460m. Won't find this any tougher. Hard to beat with even luck.

Talented performer with an excellent strike rate at this journey. Continued the excellent form last start when he scored over 264m at Monmore in a handy 15.27, beating Aero Thunder. In form and can make it three straight.
