Ellis Park Race 7 - Race 7 - Maiden Special Weight
VALIANT HUMOR (1) is ready to win after another minor placing last start, finishing second over 1207m at Churchill Downs (Dirt) when he was handy all the way. Perfectly placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. FAST TOWN (12) made an encouraging debut last time out, finishing 2.5 lengths from the winner in third over 1207m at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Can get off the mark this time. GOOD MOJO (8) stepped out on his debut over 274m at Fair Meadows (Dirt) three-and-a-half weeks ago and finished eighth, beaten 3.5 lengths. Open to improvement and can feature. PLAYA DEL MAR (2) resumes from a spell of three months. Could only manage to finish fourth at the latest run over 1408m at Keeneland (Dirt). Has ability so don't underestimate.
