Ellis Park Race 5 - Race 5 - Mdn Special Weight
SILVERBACK (4) showed promise on debut last time out when in the money over 1106m at Churchill Downs (Dirt), beaten 3.5 lengths. Has plenty of upside so he should pay to follow. SALAHUDIN (10) is a first-starter by Uncle Mo from Weekend Strike who has been a prolific producer including winners at black type level. Comes from a stable which has an impressive strike rate with the first-starters. Looks set to make a positive start to his career despite a difficult barrier. RADNOR LAKE (6) is a two-year-old colt on debut from the stable of B H Cox. By Nashville from Candy Apple Red. Watch for a betting push. JOKESTER (3) is a two-year-old colt on debut from the stable of George Weaver. By Practical Joke from Curlinup. Pay to watch for any positive betting moves.
