Ellis Park Race 2 - Race 2 - Mdn Claiming
HE'S A CHARMER (6) has been racing in great heart with two top-three finishes on end, the latest a second over 1710m at Horseshoe Indianapolis Turf (Turf) when he was in the firing line all the way. Taking on a better line-up this time but he deserves plenty of thought. BOTH SIDES OF BAD (10) was responsible for a solid effort last time out when second at Churchill Downs (Dirt) over 1710m, beaten 1.5 lengths. Hasn't been far away this time in work with three minor placings from five starts. Bold showing expected. FEELING GRAND (5) returns after seven months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a eighth over 1710m at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Rates highly on best figures and should be right in this. BEARISTER (4) resumes from a spell of ten weeks and looked close to a win before that break, finishing off with a minor placing over 1710m at Churchill Downs Turf (Turf). Jockey Jim Graham back aboard. Nicely placed and can feature in the finish.
