Ellis Park Race 4 - Race 4 - Mdn Claiming
HELLACIOUS (2) Average performance when 8th last time at this venue but has a positive alley. Might take a while to wind up but should be hitting top gear in the straight. Looks to be value. TELECASTER (4) Was strong on the speed before fading to finish 3rd last time at this venue. Has plenty of early speed. This field suits. MANDY'S MAN CAN (5) First up from a break of 11 weeks and grabbed towards the finish when 3rd first up last preparation at Keeneland. Should be going forward early. Strong chance. SLIP STRIKE (11) Darrin Miller 3yo by Mitole having first race start. Market as guide.

Was $12.00 and nothing special when 8th last time around here but drawn nicely. Has a great burst of speed late. Back in trip. Definite claims.
