Ellis Park Race 9 - Race 9 - Mdn Special Weight

TOAST THE STAR (3) disappointed last time when 12th over 1609m at Churchill Downs Turf (Turf) after a close third at Churchill Downs Turf (Turf) the run prior. Looks better placed over this shorter trip so should be in the finish. ZERO ABSOLUTE (5) missed the placings on debut then improved last start but found one better over 1106m at Churchill Downs Turf, beaten 3 lengths after being in contention on the turn. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. SPIN A TUNE (6) has not appeared since she finished third on debut over 1106m at this track on August 1. Deserves serious consideration. LIZ KNOWS BEST (7) raced handy on debut last start and gave a good sight before tiring to finish fourth and beaten 3 lengths over 1106m at Churchill Downs Turf (Turf). Improver worth including.

Was as a despised roughie at debut, 9th of 12 at Churchill Downs on June 13 over 1207m, 10 len behind Epic Proud Mary with 53.5kg at $56.03. Cannot enthuse after the moderate debut effort.
