(# 6) RUNITSAMONSTER - Drops into a claimer for the second time. Finished second in career debut and has tried tougher in a subsequent pair. Has speed, draws well for the seven-furlong distance, and expect him to run well.

(# 4) Sum Badger - Well bet in initial pair at Laurel about two months ago. Working swiftly for the return for trainer Larry Murray, and son of "Milwaukee Brew" might be ready now.

(# 7) Weekend Palace - Improving little by little and is coming off his best race yet, a grass contest at the Meadowlands. Very sharp work on the Monmouth main track from the gate indicates he may be ready to win.

(# 3) Moonshine Mike - Pair of in the money finishes against inferior fields in last pair. Has some speed, should be involved early, but may be overbet.
