Ellis Park Race 1 - Race 1 - Claiming
GOOD MOJO (4) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at this track (Dirt), finishing second and only a nose from the winner at the end of 1308m after being in contention on the turn. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. JUSTIFREAK (1) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1207m at Churchill Downs, beaten 5.5 lengths. Has a fair record when second up, including two top-three finishes. Perfectly placed and is sure to be there at the finish. STONE COUNTY (2) broke through for his maiden win over 1207m at this track (Dirt) last time, scoring comfortably. Looks well placed and he is a solid top-three hope. IMPAVIDO (7) finished fourth last time out over 1308m at this track, beaten 10 lengths. Has definite claims.
