Ellis Park Race 1 - Race 1 - Mdn Special Weight
ELEONORA (6) 3yo first starter by Caravaggio for Eddie Kenneally. Follow the money. IBIS (4) 3yo by Twirling Candy on debut for Riley Mott. Betting is the best guide. DEFINE (7) First up. Came in 2nd last start at Wolverhampton and getting better in recent performances. First start for a new trainer. Looks to be value. DETERMINED DANCER (2) Resuming after a break. Finished 7th last run at Fair Grounds but having second career run. Has a great burst of speed late. Has a good draw. Could work into the placings.

Started at $43.00 and average performance when 10th last run at this venue but has the ideal barrier. Might have to make up considerable ground. Struggle to recommend.

First run back from a break. Started at $6.50 and came in 7th last run at Fair Grounds but was on debut last time. Finishes off strongly. Has some claims.

Ran on strongly when 2nd last run at Churchill Downs. Should be going forward early. Low-key chance.

Did well to run into 3rd beaten by 5 1/2L last start at Churchill Downs and rising in distance. Big improvement required to threaten these.

First run back after a break. Competitive effort when 2nd last start at Wolverhampton and displaying improvement over the past few runs. First appearance for a new trainer. Gets a chance against these.
