Ellis Park Race 9 - Race 9 - Maiden Special Weight
START TO WIN (12) finished second, beaten 4.5 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1609m at this track (Dirt) after he was in the firing line on the turn. Placed to advantage so expect a big run. PLAYA DEL MAR (9) is a three-start maiden who finished fourth, beaten 6 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1308m at this track (Dirt). Chance to break his maiden status with that run under his belt. TAP ME A SONG (2) was in the money two starts back at Churchill Downs but was unable to repeat the effort last time when seventh, beaten 5.5 lengths, at this track (Turf) over 1106m. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. MISTER BANDERAS (4) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 8 lengths into fourth. Has his share of ability and is a top-three prospect.
