Ellis Park Race 5 - Race 5 - Mdn Special Weight
EVER FORWARD (1) wasn't far away on debut last start over 1106m at Ellis Park Turf (Turf), finishing second and beaten 2.5 lengths. Can get off the mark this time. VIOLENT GAL (10) finished third on debut 11 weeks ago, beaten 3 lengths over 1106m at Churchill Downs (Dirt), and has not been produced since. Awkward draw to contend with but can feature again. THAT'S THE GIRL (7) made a promising debut over 1207m at Colonial Downs (Dirt) last start, finishing second and beaten 6 lengths. Has plenty of upside so another top-three finish is on the cards. ETNA (8) ran below expectations last start, finishing fifth and beaten 6 lengths at Ellis Park Turf (Turf) over 1106m. Nicely placed to turn things around.

At debut, 2nd of 10 at Ellis Park Turf on July 24 over 1106m, 2.5 len behind Worth The Mischief with 54kg at $6.19. Sure to take a lot from that experience and makes plenty of appeal.
