Ellis Park Race 5 - Race 5 - Mdn Special Weight
CAMPOBASSO (9) has filled a minor placing at both runs to date, the latest when beaten 1.5 lengths into second over 1308m at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Likely to feature. DONTWORRYBOUTNOTHN (4) is yet to break through after five career starts. Managed to fill a minor placing at this track (Dirt) two starts back before finishing fourth over 1408m at this track (Dirt) last time. Among the leading chances. MIZZOU (2) is a nine-start maiden who filled a minor placing at Churchill Downs (Dirt) at the last run before spelling. Handy draw will assist. Rates highly on best figures and should be right in this. NATIVE BREW (1) is a two-start maiden who resumed from a spell last start and was beaten 3.5 lengths when fifth over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Bold showing expected with added fitness this time.

Racing well recently. At the latest run 4th of 10 at this track on July 25 over 1408m, 5.5 len behind Pimlott with 56kg at $3.40. The run before that set the pace for much of the race 2nd of 8 at this track on July 5 over 1207m, nose behind Embry Show carrying 56kg at $18.48. Can turn things around.
