Ellis Park Race 8 - Ellis Park Turf S. Stakes
EVERLAND (8) has been below best form in two runs so far this campaign, the latest when fifth beaten by 6 lengths in Listed grade at this track (Dirt). Will strip fitter again and can improve sharply this run. POPPY THE PRINCESS (5) lines up for the hat-trick after registering a strong win last time over 1811m at this track (Dirt), scoring by 1.3 lengths. Irving Moncada who has two wins when partnering stays on. Expecting a bold showing. NEXT UP (7) showed good early speed over 1609m at this track (Turf) last time and went on to salute by 0.8 lengths. Is going well this campaign, recording two wins from four starts. Capable of going well. HOPE MISSION (2) was beaten 3 lengths into fifth over 1710m at Horseshoe Indianapolis seven weeks ago. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
