RACE DC'S PIGGY BANK POPPY SYDNEY RIDGE MENARD HANOVER SIN TO WIN 3-1 DC'S PIGGY BANK 11-year-old has been claimed in 4 of his last 5 while racing in sharp form. Moves into top barn and looks tough to beat from the rail. POPPY SYDNEY RIDGE improving sophomore comes off a solid effort finishing second behind sharp winner and looks like the main threat. RACE MR ABERDEEN CATMAN DUDE 7-2

2 3 7 R GEORGE SPUROFTHEMUSCLE 3-1 MR ABERDEEN got a confidence building win with a drop in class last time and now actually faces lesser, likely to complete another small Mighty M DD. CATMAN DUDE went an improved mile chasing top one home for show and now also drops, may be heading in the right direction for top connections. RACE LATIN LYRIC PERFECT RAIDER PURPLE N GOLD ALL PERFECT 6-1 LATIN LYRIC takes key drop off some decent tries against tougher. PERFECT RAIDER steps up in raging form looking for 15 th win of the year and should be a handful. RACE TYREE'S TREASURE MONICA'S IMAGE CARPATHIAN HOORAY 5-2 TYREE'S TREASURE had a tough spot when reduced to this level in last, two back chased a hot pace against tougher. Finds a good spot in small field and may be ready to end season long slump. RACE MARY LOU 7-2

3 2 3 TARA'S BEST TIGER KITTY 5-2 MARY LOU has had tough posts/trips in recent; drops and should perk up against blank field in fourth start off short layoff. RACE GET READY TO RUMBA ROOTINTOOTINFILLY NOW IT BEGINS MCDONNA 9-2 GET READY TO RUMBA gets away from the streaking Perfect Raider and may shake loose against these. RACE BURLESQUE FUTURE ROCK STAR WHAT RUSTY RUSTY'S FLYING 3-1 BURLESQUE changed tactics and was kept off the pace early, uncorked a wide backstretch move and rolled by a slightly weaker field to win for the 13 th time on the year and for the sixth straight time at this level, hard to go past. FUTURE ROCK STAR possesses a sharp brush and gets the pole but has made breaks in last two and will have to stay flat to have any kind of shot. WHAT RUSTY and RUSTY'S FLYING are both hard hitting mares that race best on the front end but both will need best efforts to have any shot. RACE 8

4 1 2 KJ BRENDA** NOBLE LOVER CARBON FOOTPRINT 5-1 KJ BRENDA takes key drop and filly has flashed ability since returning to Monticello after chasing Kentucy sired fillies in stakes events this past August. RACE I DEAL VIC* SLICKETY SPLIT FACTOR J VALS JETT 4-1 I DEAL VIC was chasing sharp winners before making two moves through fast pace and understandably tiring in latest. Draws tough spot but deceptively sharp mare has speed to get the top and is capable of taking them down the road. RACE GUNGA WIN CITY KID BIG Z MIRANDA MAJESTIC JO 7-2 GUNGA WIN ships in from Saratoga off a good effort from 7-hole; 6-yearold had been facing tougher north of the border and took a 1:54 mark earlier in the year. Gets the rail but did show erratic tendencies before leaving Canada which will have to be corrected, tough if he does. RACE 11

5 1 1 HARPER LEE SITTINTHEMORNINSUN FRANNY THE GREAT ISN'T SHE LOVELY 5-1 HARPER LEE made a wide move to clear stalled cover down the backstretch, finished with good pace. Drops, gets the rail and will likely be forwardly placed. Preferred Play KJ BRENDA 8TH RACE Long Shot Play I DEAL VIC 9TH RACE
