Ellis Park Race 9 - Race 9 - Maiden Claiming
REYA SUNSHINE (2) showed good early speed and raced on the pace last start before fading to finish fifth, beaten 9 lengths, over 1609m at this track (Turf). Will go forward and is expected to be in the finish. COCKTAIL HUMOR (7) led early and was still in the firing line on the turn last start before tiring to finish fifth over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Rates highly in this field and can turn things around. READING TIME (8) could only manage fifth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1609m at Horseshoe Indianapolis, beaten 2.25 lengths after being in contention on the corner. Going up a level this time but she is up to the challenge. COUNTRY CLUB (10) is a three-year-old filly on debut from the stable of B H Cox. By West Coast from Cross Your Heart. Watch the market closely.
