Ellis Park Race 5 - Race 5 - Mdn Special Weight
MAHOGANY DREAM (3) settled back on debut last start then made a dash forward before the turn and stuck on well to finish second over 1106m at Ellis Park (Dirt). Has a low draw which assists and looks hard to beat. RIVELLI (6) did a fair job on debut last time out, finishing 6 lengths from the winner in third over 1609m at Colonial Downs Inner Turf (Turf). Can open winning account this time. PLAY IT AGAIN (7) finished third last start over 1609m at this track (Turf), beaten 6 lengths. Likely improver with bright prospects. BIG MIKE FINK (12) is a nicely bred two-year-old colt lining up for the first time. By Omaha Beach from Madison Mayhem who has produced some fine gallopers, including winners at black type level. Should be thereabouts despite a tricky gate.

Two-year-old colt who is first starter by Blame out of Naval Battle. Likely to come in for support.
