Ellis Park Race 5 - Race 5 - Claiming
COUNTRY CLUB (2) last appeared when successful by 0.1 lengths over 1811m at Keeneland (Dirt) three-and-a-half months ago, the only time she went to the races last prep. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Will prove tough to beat. CORA'S LEGACY (6) is close to breaking through, last start finishing just 0.1 lengths away in second over 1710m at Churchill Downs (Dirt) after being in the firing line all the way. Should park just off the speed. Finds a more suitable contest and can get the job done. HEARTS UNITED (3) is putting together some solid results. Finished third at Horseshoe Indianapolis Turf (Turf) two starts back then landed the prize by 2 lengths last time out over 1609m at Belterra Park (Dirt). It doesn't get any easier but on current form she is capable of another big performance. GAL CAPONE (8) was comfortably accounted for when sixth last time out over 1207m at Horseshoe Indianapolis, beaten 25 lengths, after a win at Horseshoe Indianapolis at the previous outing. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run ran on from midfield and won by 2 len at Belterra Park July 7 over 1609m defeating Larksong with 55kg at $3.80. The race before that 3rd of 9 at Horseshoe Indianapolis Turf on June 15 over 1609m, 8 len behind Go Town with 55.5kg at $44.30. Should be right in the finish.

Last start 7th of 9 at Churchill Downs on June 26 over 1408m, 19 len behind Q's Your Mama carrying 53.5kg at $44.34. The start before that ran second last in a small field at Churchill Downs on May 8 over 1710m, 6 len behind Gypsan carrying 54.5kg at $6.02. Definite winning chance. Keep safe.

Form hard to fault. Comes here off a 40-day let-up. Last start 2nd in a small field at Churchill Downs on June 14 over 1710m, 0.1 len behind Big Dig carrying 51.5kg at $6.86. The start before that 3rd in a small field at Churchill Downs on May 8 over 1710m, 4.5 len behind Gypsan carrying 53.5kg at $10.16. Solid run last time and is a strong winning hope again.

Second-up 8th of 10 at Lone Star Park on July 12 over 1207m, 9 len behind Contessa's Song carrying 56kg at $8. Hard to make a case on recent form.

Comes off a 37 day let-up. Most recently ran last in a small field at Horseshoe Indianapolis on June 17 over 1207m, on rain affected going; 25 len behind Tennesseehoneybee with 55.5kg at $36.30. The race before that settled well back; won by a nose at Horseshoe Indianapolis May 28 over 1106m defeating Lookatmybuckle with 55.5kg at $11.50. Capable of more than she showed last time.
