Ellis Park Race 4 - Race 4 - Mdn Special Weight
MARKET CLOSED (9) is a colt by Not This Time from the stakes-winner Sold It on debut. Leading contender despite the draw. BOLD SPEAKER (4) is a two-year-old colt by Speaker's Corner out of Mrs Claus set to debut for the Brendan P Walsh stable. Looks set to run well. Betting holds the key. CASTIGLIONE (1) stepped out on his debut over 1609m at this track (Turf) six weeks ago and finished 11th, beaten 21 lengths. Will be better for that run and is expected to go well.

Comes off a 32 day let-up. Most recently held ground to the line 2nd of 7 at Horseshoe Indianapolis Turf on July 14 over 1509m, 0.5 len behind Popcorn carrying 54.5kg at $3.60. The start before that sat behind the speed prior to fading 8th of 11 at Churchill Downs on June 4 over 1106m, 10 len behind How's Al Today with 54kg at $63.26. Poised to win after a narrow defeat last time.

Raced twice to date. When well in the market at debut, 3rd in a small field at Horseshoe Indianapolis Turf on June 17 over 1609m, 16 len behind Chasing The Son carrying 54kg at $3.10. Last start 3rd of 9 at this track on July 19 over 1609m, 0.8 len behind Good To Be King carrying 54kg at $8.67. Racing well. Has strong claims.
