Ellis Park Race 2 - Race 2 - Claiming
JOE THE TAILOR (3) showed good early muster and fought on to finish second last start over 1106m at Hawthorne Turf (Turf). Meets some better types this time but a win is not out of the question. GOLDEN ALE (7) displayed plenty of early toe over 1006m at Belterra Park Turf (Turf) last time and dug deep to score by 1.3 lengths. Meets some better types this time but another big run is on the cards. DOCTOR JEFF (8) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a fifth over 1106m at Saratoga Turf (Turf). Beautifully placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. BAD BEAT BRIAN (2) finished sixth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1006m at Lone Star Park Turf, beaten 1.5 lengths. Placed to advantage so anticipating another big run. Something for the Multiples: CATAMOUNT (6)

At the latest run won by 1.3 len at Belterra Park Turf on July 25 over 1006m defeating Whatdoyouthinkmark carrying 55kg at $2.80. The race before that raced behind the speed prior to fading 10th of 12 at Santa Anita Turf on June 14 over 1207m, 11 len behind The Old Nine with 57kg at $14. No reason he cannot salute again.

The race before that came from midfield and won by 1.0 len at Churchill Downs on May 31 over 1207m defeating Gallo De Fuego with 56kg at $1.80. Wasn't too far off the mark last time. In the mix again.
