Ellis Park Race 9 - Race 9 - Mdn Special Weight
GIVEMETHEBEAT (1) Fresh from a spell. Finished well when 2nd last run at Turfway Park and has a nice advantage with a good barrier. Displays good closing speed. Can win. TOAST THE STAR (3) Didn't attack the line when 12th last start at Churchill Downs but solid career start. Performing honestly since returning from a spell but down in distance. Suitably placed in this race. SPIN A TUNE (6) First up after a break of 50 weeks. Managed to run 3rd last start at the track and having second career run. Possesses good finishing speed. No surprise to see a forward showing and one of the main hopes in this race. COCO G (9) Racing as a debutant 3yo by Caravaggio for Brendan P Walsh. Keep your eye on the market.

Resuming after a spell. Flashed home late into 2nd last run at Turfway Park and has minimal work to do from the gate. Can go through the gears. Expect a forward showing.

Was $36.00 and disappointing display when 9th last run at Churchill Downs but having second career run. Prefers to settle towards the rear. Gets a favourable alley. Not likely to pull off the victory.

Couldn't stay in touch when 12th last start at Churchill Downs but promising career start. Will be dropping in distance. In the mix against these.

First run back from a break of 50 weeks. Was strong late when 3rd beaten by 4 1/4L last start at this track and having second race start. Good potential.

Started at $10.00 and faded away late when 4th last time at Churchill Downs and was on debut last time. Shows good early pace. Others make far more appeal.

First up after a break. Started $18.00 and weakened under pressure when 6th last start at Turfway Park. The wide barrier shouldn't be a problem with plenty of early speed. Watch betting.

At $12.00 weakened to finish 7th last run at Churchill Downs. Betting is the best guide.
