Ellis Park Race 7 - Race 7 - Mdn Special Weight
MAHOGANY DREAM (5) started at $3.30 last time and ran below expectations, finishing seventh and beaten 9 lengths at Ellis Park Turf (Turf) over 1710m. Likely improver with strong prospects. FONZARELLI (2) is a colt by Violence from the stakes-winner Wink on debut. Drawn well and can make a bright start. ALI'S GLORY (1) produced a nice effort on debut in better company last start over 1207m at this track (Dirt) when third, beaten 4.5 lengths. Likely improver so he is a strong chance. TAKE CHARGE BEACH (4) was in the firing line on the corner and finished second last time over 1509m at Horseshoe Indianapolis Turf (Turf), beaten half a length. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is one of the chief contenders.
