Ellis Park Race 9 - Race 9 - Mdn Optional Claiming
COUNTTHETRUE (10) ran well on debut last start to finish third over 905m at Churchill Downs (Dirt) in a tougher race. Has plenty of upside so she is worth following up. RESPECTED MIND (8) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1006m at Horseshoe Indianapolis after being prominent at the corner. Meets some better types this time but another big run is on the cards. SWEET VENTURE (3) is facing the starter for the first time. By Daredevil and hails from the Eddie Kenneally stable. A good gate is sure to assist. Watch for a betting push. FOR THE WIN (7) stepped out on her debut over 905m at Churchill Downs (Dirt) four weeks ago and finished sixth, beaten 6 lengths. Open to improvement and can feature.
