Ellis Park Race 2 - Race 2 - Maiden Special Weight
CHACHING CHACHING (8) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 4.5 lengths when fifth over 1207m at Churchill Downs four weeks ago. Has the class to produce a better result. TEXAS QUEEN (9) was out of the money on debut two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1207m at Churchill Downs, beaten 4 lengths into fourth. Finds a more suitable contest and can get the job done. TWILIGHT TEMPO (2) is on debut for the Brendan P Walsh stable. Three-year-old filly by More Than Ready from Midnight Bliss. Likely to enjoy a nice run from this favourable draw. Keep a close eye out for a positive market move. CONTORTED (7) could only manage to finish fifth, beaten 13 lengths, at her latest appearance over 1609m at Churchill Downs (Dirt). In the mix. Something for the Multiples: PURPLE AND GOLD (10) FOOLISH FRONT FIFI (4)
