Ellis Park Race 6 - Race 6 - Mdn Special Weight
CAMPOBASSO (3) is a two-start maiden who looks close to a win after placing at both runs, the latest when second over 1308m at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Has the blinkers removed. Rates highly and a bold showing is expected. FLICK (4) is building towards his maiden success, the latest effort a solid third over 1509m at Churchill Downs (Dirt), beaten 1.5 lengths after being in contention on the corner. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. PUTEKETEKE (9) is a five-start maiden who could only manage to finish eighth at his latest appearance over 1308m at Saratoga (Dirt) after he was well back on straightening. Looks to be in the right race to play a big role.

Second run from a spell tried to lead throughout but was claimed late 2nd of 8 at this track on July 5 over 1207m, nose behind Embry Show with 56kg at $18.48. Fitter now and making headway. Will take beating.
