Prize Money: $236,111

JUST JOE (9) produced a fair effort on debut last time out when 4.5 lengths from the winner in eighth at Saratoga Turf (Turf) over 1710m. Expected to finish much closer with the race experience on board. JUST GOT PAID (7) missed the frame on debut then improved last time when 3 lengths away in second over 1106m at Ellis Park Turf (Turf). Should be prominent from the outset. Looks close to a win. MAHOGANY DREAM (1) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 10 lengths when sixth in a 1609m contest at Ellis Park two weeks ago. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is one of the key runners.

Last start 7th of 12 at Ellis Park on August 23 over 1609m, 13 len behind Henriques carrying 54kg at $17.16. The start before that held ground to the line 2nd of 7 at Horseshoe Indianapolis Turf on July 14 over 1509m, 0.5 len behind Popcorn with 54.5kg at $3.60. Has a low draw and is in the mix.
