Ellis Park Race 9 - Race 9 - Mdn Special Weight
PASEO (9) returned last time with a solid second at Churchill Downs Turf (Turf) over 1811m after being prominent at the turn. Placed to advantage so expect a big run. MARCHELINE (1) missed the placings on debut two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1106m at Churchill Downs Turf, beaten 2.25 lengths. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. WONZEE WEATHER (2) is a seven-start maiden who resumed from a spell last start and was beaten 6 lengths when sixth over 1710m at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Will derive great benefit from that outing and deserves consideration. PARIS TWILIGHT (4) resumes from a spell of nine months. Looked close to a win before that break, finishing off with a minor placing over 1106m at Keeneland Turf (Turf). Can kick off with a bold showing.
