MONMOUTH PARK Race #8 (THE FORT MONMOUTH)

Top pick: #9 (CLASSY ZIP) - Filly by "City Zip" has been sharp in all three starts this year since coming back from almost a three month break in January along with a trainer change to Tony Dutrow. One run type should get a fast pace to rally into and is the choice to win this.

2nd pick: #8 (Inspired) - Mare put together a string of three straight stakes wins earlier this year and has slipped a bit in her last pair. Very fast from the gate, she's been facing tougher and will be tough against this weaker group. Win candidate.

3rd pick: #2 (Ultimate Class) - Mare has had her racing line interrupted by several layoffs but is stakes winner on the turf and will be racing 2nd back off a half-year's absence. She traced, bid, and tired in a small stakes at Belmont in her return and should be "tighter" in her 2nd off the layoff.
