Ellis Park Race 2 - Race 2 - Mdn Optional Claiming
LUNAR LOOP (2) Moved through the field into 4th last start at Churchill Downs and showing consistent performance in races. Racing for a new trainer. Should get going late. Looks to be value. DIZZY MISS LIZZY (8) Threw down a serious challenge last time at Hawthorne and going up in trip. Has early speed and positions nicely. Been in the placegetters each start this preparation. Deserves consideration. MAXIES BUBBLE GUM (1) Eric N Foster trained 3yo by Known Agenda having first start and drawn the rails. Follow the money. PASSIONFRUIT (7) Came in 6th last run at Churchill Downs. Giving another go here. Jockey Danny Sheehy is in top form for this stable. Has good closing speed. Solid place bet prospects.

Jumped at $4.33 and kept chasing when 4th last start at Churchill Downs and gets a favourable draw. Change in trainer and putting a tidy record together. Definite claims.

Started at $14.00 and didn't threaten when 9th last run at Churchill Downs. Should muster plenty of early toe. Prefer in an easier race.

Was $10.00 and weakened under pressure when 7th last time at Churchill Downs. First appearance for a new trainer. Looks highly doubtful.

Was quite a handful for the competition when 3rd beaten by 4L last time at Churchill Downs. Exhibiting good form since coming back from a spell. Very difficult to back.

Started $3.60 and finished 6th last run at Churchill Downs. Giving another go here. Jockey Danny Sheehy and trainer Peter Eurton are an imposing duo. Competitive type.

Just shy of the win last time at Hawthorne and rising in distance. Should come to hand quickly. Been in the money 2 from 2 attempts this preparation. Has strong claims.
