Ellis Park Race 9 - Race 9 - Mdn Claiming
DARING MADISON (4) showed good early muster and fought on to finish second last start over 1710m at Churchill Downs Turf (Turf). Drawn to go forward again. Won't find this as tough so she is perfectly placed to score. UNION ROSE (8) is a three-start maiden who returned last time and finished fourth at Churchill Downs Turf (Turf) over 1609m, beaten 5 lengths. Will take a lot from that hit-out and looks a strong chance to break through. LEXICO (10) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1609m at Ellis Park, beaten 5.5 lengths after being in the firing line on the bend. Likely improver with strong prospects.
