Ellis Park Race 4 - Race 4 - Mdn Claiming
HELLACIOUS (2) Mediocre display when 8th last run at this venue but has a positive barrier. Will be hitting the line strongly. Will be down in distance. Looks to be value. TELECASTER (4) Started off strong but faded towards the end when 3rd beaten by 2L last time at this track. Should race on the speed. A win wouldn't surprise. MANDY'S MAN CAN (5) First up and maintained a solid pace but eventually weakened to finish 3rd beaten by 2 1/4L first up last preparation at Keeneland. Should come to hand quickly. Goes close. SLIP STRIKE (11) 3yo debutant by Mitole for Darrin Miller. Watch the market moves.

Started at $10.00 and came in 4th last time at the track but can save some energy from the barrier. Won't be far away during the run. Prefer a return to something a lot easier.

Odds of $12.00 and sub-standard effort when 8th last run at the track but will try to take advantage of the gate. Shows very good finishing speed. Solid prospects.

Rattled home nicely into 3rd beaten by 1L last start around here and demonstrating upward trajectory in recent races. Likely to settle back in the field. Could be in the mix.
