Ellis Park Race 2 - Race 2 - Mdn Claiming
VALENTINE EVE (4) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.75 lengths from the winner in third over 1106m at this track after being prominent at the corner. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. SOUTHERN WAY (3) debuted a month ago when she finished fourth over 1106m at this track (Dirt), beaten 2 lengths. Capable of sharp improvement. GOING SHOPPING (7) ran a better race last start at her second appearance, finishing fifth over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Has upside and is worth including. BRIDE (10) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1106m at this track, beaten 5.5 lengths into seventh. Well placed to make amends.

At debut, ran last in a small field at Horseshoe Indianapolis on July 29 over 1006m, 13 len behind Stella's Mischief with 54kg at $8.90. Didn't quite do enough on debut to raise the hopes.

At debut, 4th of 10 at this track on July 18 over 1106m, 2 len behind Tiz Candy carrying 54kg at $5.44. Gets a pass-mark after that debut and can go on with it.

Comes off a 30 day let-up. Most recently came from midfield; 3rd of 10 at this track on July 18 over 1106m, 1.75 len behind Tiz Candy with 54kg at $2.71. The start before that 5th of 8 at Churchill Downs on June 13 over 905m, 6 len behind Belleza Latina with 54kg at $8.15. Working up to a win. Worth following.

Raced twice to date. At very big odds at debut, ran last of 8 at Churchill Downs on June 11 over 1106m, 18 len behind Althesia carrying 54kg at $50.85. Second-up ran last of 10 at this track on July 18 over 1106m, 18 len behind Tiz Candy with 54kg at $31.83. Doesn't profile as a likely winner.

Comes here off a 30-day let-up. Most recently 7th of 10 at this track on July 18 over 1106m, 5.5 len behind Tiz Candy with 54kg at $13.26. The run before that ran second last of 12 at Churchill Downs on June 20 over 1006m, 23 len behind Manuka Honey carrying 54kg at $17.12. Cannot be ruled out despite a lacklustre effort last time.
