Ellis Park Race 9 - Race 9 - Mdn Special Weight
PASEO (9) resumed from a spell last start with a sound second over 1811m at Churchill Downs Turf (Turf) after being in contention on the turn. Hard to beat in this suitable race. MARCHELINE (1) could only manage eighth on debut then improved last start but found a couple better over 1106m at Churchill Downs Turf, beaten 2.25 lengths. Looks well placed so expect another big run. WONZEE WEATHER (2) is a seven-start maiden who returned last time and finished sixth at Churchill Downs (Dirt) over 1710m, beaten 6 lengths. Will derive great benefit from that outing and deserves consideration. PARIS TWILIGHT (4) is a two-start maiden who was close to a win before a nine months break, finishing off with a minor placing at Keeneland Turf (Turf). Taking on a longer trip to kick off this prep. Nicely placed and can feature in the finish.
