Ellis Park Race 5 - Race 5 - Mdn Special Weight
DIXIELAND (2) Racing as a debutant 2yo by Street Sense for trainer William Walden and can find a nice position from the draw. Watch the market. THAT'S THE GIRL (7) Flashed home late into 2nd last start at Colonial Downs and having second career run. Should race on the speed. Facing a rise in trip. Respect. ETNA (8) Chased well when 5th last time around here and racing over a longer distance. Won't be far away. EVER FORWARD (1) Improved to place when 2nd beaten by 2 1/2L last start here and was a debutant last start. Expecting to settle positively. Gets a favourable alley. Going up in trip. Will be competitive.

Amongst the placegetters when 2nd beaten by 2 1/2L last start at the track and having second career run. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Good chance at a nice price.

Fresh after a break. Started $14.00 and gave away some ground when 5th last start at Churchill Downs but was on debut last time. Shows good early pace. Needs to find a lot more.

At $9.00 lost ground in the run home when 6th last start here. First race for a new trainer. Respect the betting.

Was $18.00 and didn't threaten when 6th last start around here but fitter for debut run. J Tyler Servis stable are on a hot streak. Slim chance.

At $43.00 unimpressive effort when 9th last run at the track but having second race start. Likely to settle back in the field. Racing over extra ground. Hard to recommend.

Showed a good turn of foot when 2nd beaten by nearly 7L last start at Colonial Downs and fitter for debut run. Will be positive in the run early. One of the punters top hopes.

Odds of $6.00 and picked up some ground to run 5th last time at this track and facing an increased distance. Has claims.

Resumes after a break. Amongst the placegetters when 3rd last start at Churchill Downs and having second career run. Should be rolling forward early from the wide barrier. Betting is the best guide.

Started at $14.00 and finished 6th last time at this venue but was a debutant last start. Going up in trip. Unfortunately, it seems unlikely.
