Ellis Park Race 2

Claiming

Stake: -

LADY DREAMER (2) Had a break from racing and returns to competition. Uncompetitive when 7th last run at Oaklawn Park but has a positive alley. Should race on the speed. Can win this. SWIFTWIND (7) Amongst the placegetters when 2nd last run at Louisiana Downs and facing a weaker grade. Erik Asmussen rates highly aboard. Must respect. PROTOMAGIC (1) Ran on strongly when 2nd last time at Churchill Downs and has a nice advantage with a good draw. Coming to a new trainer but rising in class. Should be competitive in this race at a bit of odds. TALKIN IN CURSIVE (4) Didn't find the line when 5th last start at Churchill Downs. Should improve but racing in stronger company. Likely to be well placed early. Can be competitive.

Rattled home nicely into 2nd last time at Churchill Downs and drawn well. First start for a new trainer but matched against a stronger field. Watch the market moves.

Resuming after a spell. Was $6.00 and not up to standard when 7th last run at Oaklawn Park but drawn nicely. Will be positive in the run early. Expecting a strong showing.

At $28.00 performed below standard when 8th last time at Churchill Downs but drops back to a suitable class. Likely to get back. Dropping in distance. Hard to see this being good enough.

Jumped at $7.00 and couldn't stay in touch when 5th last start at Churchill Downs. Should improve but challenged by a tougher grade. Should muster plenty of early speed. Represents value in this race.

First up and charged home to win first up last preparation at Oaklawn Park. First race for a new trainer and goes down in grade. Finishes off strongly. Modest hope.
