Ellis Park Race 9 - Race 9 - Maiden Special Weight
RUNNING GAME (9) missed the frame on debut then progressed nicely at her second outing when prominent at the bend, finishing 0.8 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1609m at Churchill Downs. Finds a more suitable contest and can get the job done. PLOT (5) debuted a month ago when she finished fifth over 1710m at Churchill Downs (Turf), beaten 4 lengths. Likely improver who is worth another chance. PRETTY TAPIT (7) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 5 lengths when fifth over 1811m at Churchill Downs six weeks ago. Finds a suitable assignment and can take this out. GRAYLEIGH (11) is a four-start maiden who finished fifth, beaten 5.5 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1811m at Churchill Downs (Turf). Definite top-three hope with plenty of improvement to come.
