Ellis Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance Optional Claiming

KEEP IT EASY (2) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 1408m at Churchill Downs (Dirt) after being in the firing line all the way. Beautifully placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. KALAHARI DREAMS (7) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1408m at Churchill Downs, beaten 5.5 lengths into eighth. Finds the right race this time and can find winning form. RISK IT (1) was in the firing line on the turn and finished third last start at the first run back from a spell over 1207m at this track (Dirt) when he made late ground, beaten 5 lengths. Likely improver with bright prospects. MARKET STREET (4) settled well back last start and never threatened when sixth over 1207m at Churchill Downs (Dirt) eight weeks ago. Can figure in the finish.

Second run back. First-up after two months ran second last in a small field at this track on July 6 over 1207m, 5 len behind Taylor's Version carrying 55.5kg at $10.27. Previously second-up 8th of 11 at Oaklawn Park on December 21 2024 over 1207m, 10 len behind Wendelssohn carrying 54kg at $3.30. Strips fitter and is an excellent winning chance.
