Kentucky Downs Race 11 - Race 11 - Maiden Special Weight
SWIRLING EIGHTS (2) was well in the market last time and made it two minor placings from as many runs this prep when 1.5 lengths away in third over 1609m at Ellis Park (Turf). Big chance to break through. TIMAYYYY (7) finished fifth when resuming two runs back then did a good job last start but found one better over 1609m at Ellis Park, beaten only half a length after being in contention on the bend. Taking on a better field but he is worth serious consideration. WESTERN RUN (9) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 1.1 lengths when fourth over 1609m at Ellis Park six-and-a-half weeks ago after being prominent at the turn. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he has the ability to mix it with them. ELEVEN BRAVO (10) recorded another minor placing last time out, finishing half a length away in second over 1673m at Gulfstream Park (Synthetic). Suitably placed so anticipating another big run.
