Ellis Park Race 2 - Race 2 - Mdn Claiming
KING CRUSHER (2) is yet to break through after three career starts. Could only manage to finish fifth last time out over 1106m at Ellis Park Turf (Turf) following a minor placing at this track (Dirt) over 1207m the run prior. Well placed this line-up and might be his day. ZIMOMO (1) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing third last time when he was handy all the way over 1006m at Colonial Downs Inner Turf (Turf). Finds a more suitable contest and can get the job done. MR FETE (4) finished third last start over 1106m at this track (Dirt), beaten 4 lengths. Nicely placed to go a couple better. SILVERBACK (10) is a two-start maiden who placed on debut then could only manage ninth last start, beaten 29 lengths over 1308m at this track (Dirt). Well placed and can feature in the finish.
