Ellis Park Race 1 - Race 1 - Mdn Special Weight
GROUNDSWELL (11) did a fair job on debut last time out, finishing 2.25 lengths from the winner in fourth over 1106m at Ellis Park (Dirt). Will be very hard to beat with that run under the belt. JUST GOT PAID (8) made an encouraging debut last time out, finishing 4 lengths from the winner in fourth over 1106m at this track (Turf). Will be very hard to beat with that run under the belt. PRETTY GOOD (9) is a two-year-old colt on debut from the stable of Bob Baffert. By Good Magic from Pretty N Cool. Respect any positive move in betting. PHANTOM FLASH (3) is a two-year-old colt on debut from the stable of M J Maker. By Mitole from Phantom Vision. Good draw a big help. Worth watching for a betting push.
