PANDEMIC HERO (5) turned in a better run last time to finish second over 1106m at Monmouth Park Turf after being in contention on the bend. Must raise the bar but he has the talent to test this line-up. MISSION CRITICAL (2) finished out of the money when fresh from a spell two starts back then he was never in contention and was beaten 2.25 lengths when fifth over 1207m at Aqueduct three-and-a-half weeks ago. Finds a more suitable contest and can take this out. SKYTOWN (4) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1207m at this track, beaten 1.4 lengths into fourth. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. ROCKINMONEY (6) has not won for a long while. Last raced on June 23 when beaten 3.5 lengths into sixth at this track (Dirt) over 1207m. In the right race and should be about the mark.
