Ellis Park Race 1

Maiden Claiming

Prize Money: $62,016

VALIANT HUMOR (5) is yet to break through in five runs. Finished sixth at his last appearance over 1308m at this track (Dirt) on July 6. This looks a nice race so expect him to be right in the finish. HEROIC ACT (1) debuted three weeks ago when he finished seventh over 1408m at this track (Dirt), beaten 9 lengths. Expected to improve and will pay to follow up. MAGNIFICENT RAGS (2) resumed from a spell last start with a sound second over 1609m at this track (Turf). In the right race and is one of the big hopes. COLONEL CALIENTE (7) was below his best last time, finishing sixth and beaten 9 lengths over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Open to improvement and should be about the money.
