XY SPEED (5) showed good early dash and raced on the speed at the first run back from a break last start before fading to finish 0.9 lengths back in fourth over 5½f in stakes class at Monmouth Park (Turf). Sure to give a great sight. REEF RUNNER (4) is a talented colt who was well held last time out in the tougher won by Fandom over 5½f at Saratoga, beaten 3.5 lengths into eighth. Is in solid form this time in work, scoring three times and placing on three occasions from nine starts. Best form puts him right in this. OH DARLIN (1) scored at her most recent appearance, getting home by 1.3 lengths over 5½f at this track (Synthetic) as favourite. That continued the very strong form this campaign, with two wins from three runs. Expect a bold showing. HOPE IN HIM (6) has not appeared since he finished fourth over 5½f at this track (Synthetic) on July 12. Has found a suitable race and is worth including.
