Ellis Park Race 3 - Race 3 - Maiden Special Weight
MO EXPECTATIONS (3) made an encouraging debut last time out, finishing 2 lengths from the winner in fourth over 1609m at Churchill Downs (Turf). Has upside and can open her account. HI'IAKA (2) again failed to feature last start, finishing ninth and beaten 15 lengths over 1710m at Churchill Downs (Turf). Should camp just off the leaders. Best form puts her right in this. DEAR SCARLETT (4) finished 3 lengths away in fifth last time out over 1106m at Churchill Downs a month ago. Steps up in journey today. Strong top-three chance. AURACULOUS (7) resumes from a spell of 21 months. Could only manage to finish fifth at the latest run over 1609m at Keeneland (Turf). Can kick off with a bold showing.
