Ellis Park Race 9 - Race 9 - Mdn Optional Claiming
NO MO SUN (12) did a fair job on debut last time out, finishing 1.75 lengths from the winner in fourth over 1106m at this track (Turf). Likely improver who should go well. MEGA BLUE (10) faced the starter for the first time and finished seventh last start at this track (Turf) over 1106m, beaten 3.5 lengths. Expected to be in the finish with the addition of blinkers. CIARLATANO (3) turned in a moderate debut over 1106m at Ellis Park (Dirt) on July 25 when she was safely held in sixth, 13 lengths from the winner. Draws far better this time. Open to plenty of improvement. Capable of much more this time. QUIGLEY (8) is a two-year-old colt on debut. From an elite family that includes black type success, being by Oscar Performance from Rapid Rhythm. Promising type who can play a big role.

Was well in the market at debut, tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 6th of 12 at Ellis Park on July 25 over 1106m, 13 len behind Lady Lux with 54kg at $4.41. Should improve and is a chance in this line-up.
