Ellis Park Race 7 - Race 7 - Mdn Special Weight
LIFES REWARD (1) Rattled home nicely into 2nd beaten by 3/4L last start at Churchill Downs and has drawn the rails. Change in trainer and displaying improvement over the past few runs. Respect. EMBRY SHOW (8) Despite getting tired late still placed 3rd beaten by 2 1/4L last run at Churchill Downs and promising career start. One of the major players. TOP DRAWER (9) Debutant 3yo by Munnings for Brad H Cox. Keep your eye on the market. DONTWORRYBOUTNOTHN (3) Nice run when 3rd last run at Churchill Downs. Racing for a new trainer. Yedsit Hazlewood rates highly aboard. Could work into the placings.

Managed to place 2nd last start at Churchill Downs and will appreciate a good gate. First race for a new trainer and showing improvement in recent outings. Capable of winning this.

Tidy run when 3rd last run at Churchill Downs. First start for a new trainer. Jockey Yedsit Hazlewood rates highly. Can't leave out of your calculations.

Resuming after a spell of 79 weeks. Felt the pinch late when 3rd last time at Santa Anita and was on debut last time. Should race on the speed. Watch for a sign in the market.

Back from a 47 week break. Started at $7.50 and pushed past some when 5th last run at this track and was a debutant last start. This will be a test.

Solid run on the pace before weakening to finish 3rd last run at Churchill Downs and showing consistent performance in races. Florent Geroux is in form for this stable. Must respect.
