Ellis Park Race 7 - Race 7 - Mdn Special Weight
FLAMING RAINBOW (8) is a two-start maiden who returned last time and finished fourth at Churchill Downs (Dirt) over 1408m, beaten 2.25 lengths. Fitter for that outing and is a great chance to break his maiden status. FIND NO FAULT (1) recorded another minor placing last time out, finishing 6 lengths away in third over 1408m at Churchill Downs (Dirt) when he was always up in the leading division. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. STELLENBOSCH (2) made an encouraging debut last time out, finishing 3.5 lengths from the winner in second over 1207m at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Expected to feature with improvement to come. TIME TO STRIKE (4) finished 5 lengths away in fifth at his last appearance over 1408m at Churchill Downs (Dirt) on June 7. Well placed on this occasion and is a likely improver.

Was well in the market at debut, 2nd of 10 at Churchill Downs on June 14 over 1207m, 3.5 len behind Mumdoggie with 53.5kg at $4.38. Sure to take a lot from that experience and makes plenty of appeal.
