Ellis Park Race 9 - Race 9 - Maiden Special Weight
STORMIN TANDA (16) ran well on debut last start to finish second over 1207m at Churchill Downs (Dirt) in a tougher race. Breaks from a wide draw but he will prove tough to beat. ROCKY JOY (1) has three placings from four runs this preparation, most recently finishing second as favourite over 1710m at Churchill Downs (Turf) after being well positioned to strike on the turn. Inside draw will assist. Good chance to break through. OSCARWORTHY (6) is back after a break of four-and-a-half months. Went close to a maiden win before the layoff, finishing third at his latest appearance over 1509m at Gulfstream Park (Turf). Rates highly and is a chance to break through. TELESCOPIC (7) finished 10 lengths away in eighth at his last appearance over 1811m at Churchill Downs (Turf) on June 8. Rates highly in this field and can turn things around.
