Ellis Park Race 4 - Race 4 - Allowance Optional Claiming
ZAT'S THE ONE (3) led throughout last start to score an effortless 4.5 lengths win over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Will prove very tough to beat. JEFFERSON STREET (2) returns from a break of 22 months. Consistent performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a fifth over 1609m at Aqueduct. Nicely placed to kick off another successful campaign. C K WONDER (1) finished 3.5 lengths from the winner in sixth last time out over 1408m at Churchill Downs (Dirt) on June 27. Top-three contender. CAMP HALE (6) is a genuine type with three minor placings from four starts this campaign. Continued the trend last start when third over 1207m in stakes class at Prairie Meadows (Dirt). Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways.

Form hard to fault. Comes here off a 42-day let-up. At the latest run sat on the pace when 3rd of 8 in Listed grade at Prairie Meadows at Prairie Meadows on July 11 over 1207m, 5 len behind Booth carrying 54.5kg at $6.20. The start before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 7 at Churchill Downs Turf on May 28 over 1106m, 2.75 len behind We're In Trouble carrying 55kg at $7.53. Likely to play a big role.
