Ellis Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance Optional Claiming

NAKATOMI (9) resumes. Didn't make an impact at his only run last prep on March 28, finishing fifth and beaten 9 lengths over 1200m in the G1 Dubai Golden Shaheen at Meydan Dirt. Comes here with definite claims. DREAMINBLUE (8) is yet to find the winners' list this time in work but has two placings from three appearances this prep, finishing one length away in second most recently over 1308m at this track. Useful type who gets his chance. TAYLOR'S VERSION (7) displayed plenty of early toe and went on to score by 3.5 lengths when resuming last time out over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Likely improver with strong prospects. HERE MI SONG (10) finished third when resuming from a spell last start over 1308m at this track. Has a solid record here over this distance, winning on two occasions from six outings. One of the main contenders. Something for the Multiples: AUTODRIVE (6)
