Ellis Park Race 9 - Riverside Rush S. Presented By Sterling Industrial Stakes
ARCTIC WOLF (6) Flew home to win last start at Aqueduct and was a debutant last start. First start for a new trainer. Has plenty of early speed. Respect against this field. GOOD TO BE KING (8) Ran home strongly to win last time at this track but back to a shorter trip. Competing in a more challenging class. Looks to be value. SARGENT BILKO (9) Was making up some late ground when 4th last run at Churchill Downs but competing at a higher grade. Francisco Arrieta and Eddie Kenneally make an imposing pair. Worth strong consideration. HEY TUFF GUY (10) Didn't attack the line when 5th last start at Churchill Downs and up in grade. Jockey Mario Gutierrez and trainer Brian A Lynch command respect as a team. Respect. Something for the Multiples: FORTUNE KING (2)

Jumped at $18.00 and disappointing outing when 6th last time at Churchill Downs but gets a favourable gate. Likely to get back in the field. Racing in stronger company. Watch for a sign in the market.

Ran over the top of them when winning last time at Belterra Park and has a good draw. Displaying improvement over the past few runs. Must respect.

Picked up nicely to win last time at this venue but stepping up to a higher level. Has run into the money 2 from 2 attempts this campaign. Will need to find a few more lengths.

Rocketed home when winning last run at Presque Isle Downs and was on debut last time. Too much luck needed to come into contention.

Bold effort when winning last start at Aqueduct and having second career run. Has shown early pace in races to date. Coming to a new trainer. Expect a forward showing.

At $2.80 weakened to finish 5th last start at Churchill Downs and up against a higher level of opposition. Mario Gutierrez and Brian A Lynch are a formidable team. Good prospects.

Odds of $13.00 and couldn't stay in touch when 6th last start at Prairie Meadows and competing in a higher grade. Better to look elsewhere.

Started $8.50 and came in 5th last start at Ascot and matched against tougher rivals. Should race on the speed. Jockey Yedsit Hazlewood adds value and goes down in weight. Watch betting.

First run back from a break. Was much too speedy in front when winning by a margin of 3 1/4L last time at Churchill Downs and having second race start. Good chance of taking this out.
