Ellis Park Race 9 - Race 9 - Mdn Claiming
WAITING FOR YOU (4) debuted seven weeks ago when she finished seventh over 1006m at Churchill Downs (Dirt), beaten 5.5 lengths. Can improve with Lasix added for the first time today. PRINCESS JULIE (5) is yet to break through in eight runs. Finished seventh at her last appearance over 1106m at Ellis Park (Dirt) on July 12 after she was well back on straightening. Among the top chances in what looks a most suitable race. HEITZGIRL (2) returns after nine weeks in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a fourth over 1106m at Churchill Downs Turf (Turf). One of the leading chances. LINDY CAN (7) was beaten for early speed and safely held to the line when seventh over 1207m at Ellis Park (Dirt) six weeks ago. Should be poised just off the lead. Not to be discounted.
