Parx Racing Race 6

1m 1/2f Stakes

Prize Money: $36,111

DENYING (5) showed good early muster and fought on to finish third last start over 1609m at Monmouth Park (Dirt). This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is right in contention. TRANSCENDENTAL (6) returns from a break of ten weeks. Genuine performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a third over 1308m at this track. Finds the right race to launch another bright campaign. WE READY (3) registered a strong win at Monmouth Park two runs ago. Not disgraced last time out when fourth over 1710m at Monmouth Park, beaten 3 lengths. Meets some better types this time but this looks well within his grasp. HERMOSO HOMBRE (4) built on a nice second two starts back at this track (Dirt) with success as favourite over 1710m at this track (Dirt) seven-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by 7 lengths. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish.

Racing well recently. Comes here off a 36-day let-up. Most recently 4th of 7 at Monmouth Park on August 9 over 1710m, 3 len behind Tiger Moon with 56.5kg at $4.80. The start before that scored a big 4 len win at Monmouth Park on July 25 over 1673m defeating Venezuelan Triumph with 55.5kg at $3.80. Can build on that encouraging effort last start.
