Ellis Park Race 2 - Race 2 - Mdn Claiming
SLIGHTED (8) 2yo by Higher Power having first race appearance for trainer Steven M Asmussen. Keep your eye on the market. VALENTINE EVE (4) Tidy effort when 3rd last start at this track. Won't be far away during the run. No surprise to see a forward showing and one of the main hopes in this race. ALOHA KIM (9) 2yo first starter by Aloha West for Troy S Wismer. Watch betting. SOUTHERN WAY (3) Passed some rivals in the late stages when 4th last run here and having second race start. Has a nice turn of foot. Place wouldn't shock.

Was $8.00 and faded to finish 6th last start at Horseshoe Indianapolis but fitter for debut run. Displays good tactical speed. Drawn well. Prefer in something weaker.

At $9.00 pushed past some when 4th last run at this venue and was a debutant last start. Will be motoring home late. Can't leave out of your calculations.

Honest race when 3rd last start at this track. Should muster plenty of early speed. Good chance and definitely has claims.

Jumped at $6.00 and tailed off to finish 12th last start at this track but was on debut last time. Brad H Cox stable are running hot lately. Prefer to watch.

Started at $12.00 and came in 5th last run here. Likely to be an exotics contender.
