Fast and firm at Monmouth at this point on Saturday’s card — there are thunderstorms in the forecast so please keep track on any changes in track conditions.  Since the turf course is rock hard. I will handicap assuming they will keep all races on the turf so play accordingly.

In race 9, Sweet Talking Gal (#6) won on the front end at first asking and meets no speed burners in here — I’m keying in all doubles and pick 3’s and playing an exacta box with Valentine Daisy (#7) and Y to Kat (9).

In race 10, The Battlefield, Violin Sacre (#8) goes second time off a layoff for Biancone who has done well at the meet and gets a good pace to run at — taken to upset at a decent price.  I’m keying in all doubles and pick 3’s and playing an exacta box with Whatthescript (#9) and Banrock (#5).  Here’s the entire card and good luck!
