Ellis Park Race 1 - Race 1 - Claiming
EXECUTOR (3) opened this prep last start with a third, beaten a neck, over 1609m at Horseshoe Indianapolis Turf. Key runner. TIZ FREEDOM (4) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with only one victory from 12 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when fourth over 1710m at this track, beaten 0.7 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run. THIS BEAU KNOWS (7) broke through for his maiden win over 1609m at Canterbury Park Turf (Turf) last time, scoring by a nose. Looks well placed and he is right in the mix again. FIGHT THE POWER (2) is having his second run back from a break after he failed to threaten first up over 1207m at Fairmount Park (Dirt), beaten 19 lengths. Winning rider Frank Reyes sticks. Not to be discounted. Something for the Multiples: MALEVAJE (5)
