Ellis Park Race 1 - Race 1 - Maiden Claiming
SHIP SHIP HOORAY (2) could only manage fifth on dirt over 1207m at Churchill Downs two back then couldn't find the top-three on turf over 1106m at Churchill Downs more recently. Hard to beat on his best form. Worth another chance. MAXIMA (4) is a two-start maiden who returned last time and finished seventh at Churchill Downs (Dirt) over 1609m, beaten 11 lengths. Among the leading chances with the run under his belt. RAVENS DREAM (5) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1207m at Churchill Downs, beaten 5 lengths. Strips fitter and can bounce back. GALANTINI (3) is back after a break of six-and-a-half months. Went close to a maiden win before the layoff, finishing third at his latest appearance over 1207m at Gulfstream Park (Dirt). Rates highly on best form and should be in the mix.
