The fourth race at Monmouth Park on Friday features a strong field of six first-time starters, all rated at least three stars on the Horse Racing Nation First-Time Starter Power Report, including two top-rated five-star 2-year-olds. Despite morning-line favorite Bacio being stuck in the challenging post 7 after a scratch, and second choice Silvadar also drawing an outside post, bettors have promising options. The article highlights Cairo Surprise as a preferred pick, potentially offering better value than Landing Force, though both are recommended for wagering to maximize chances against the well-favored horses.
The report advises caution due to the difficulty of outside posts in short five-furlong races for young horses but remains optimistic about the competitive nature of the race. Final betting tickets will be posted after scratches, with Horse Racing Nation providing coverage in partnership with Monmouth Park and horsemen groups.
