Kentucky Downs Race 8 - Race 8 - Cancelled
OHANA LULU (6) is knocking on the door after three minor placings from three runs since resuming from a spell, most recently finishing second over 1710m at Ellis Park Turf (Turf) on July 31. Likely to go forward from a nice draw. Best figures should see her run well. R LAST LAUGH (5) finished 3 lengths from the winner in third on debut last start over 1106m at Ellis Park Turf (Turf). Likely improver so she should be in the finish again. ULTRAVIOLET (7) was solid on debut last start when beaten 7 lengths into seventh over 1710m at Ellis Park Turf (Turf) on July 31. Shapes as one to consider. MARIGOLD RUN (11) produced a fair effort on debut last time out when 6 lengths from the winner in eighth at Ellis Park Turf (Turf) over 1609m. Fitter and with blinkers applied she makes plenty of appeal.
