Ellis Park Race 9 - Race 9 - Mdn Special Weight
GINGER ALE (2) finished third, beaten 1.75 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1006m at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Placed to advantage and can take this out. VAJRA (9) is back after a break of 11 months. Went close to a maiden win before the layoff, finishing second at her latest appearance over 1106m at Saratoga Turf (Turf). Nicely placed and expected to go well. READY COMETE (6) raced handy on debut last start and gave a good sight before tiring to finish fifth and beaten 5 lengths over 1006m at Churchill Downs (Dirt). One of the main contenders. LAST CURTAIN CALL (4) ran a better race when second-up last start, finishing 8 lengths away in fifth over 1106m at Churchill Downs Turf. Well placed to make amends.
