Ellis Park Race 3 - Race 3 - Claiming
EDITOR (4) Ran on hard when winning last time at Churchill Downs and promising career start. First race for a new trainer but matched against a stronger field. Expect to go close. MOUQEER (6) Ran home strongly to win last start at Churchill Downs and on an upward trajectory in recent races. Has shown early pace in races to date. Has to be included. HORSE OF THE SEA (8) Not competitive when 4th last run at Horseshoe Indianapolis and back in trip. Recent form of the stable is strong but racing in stronger company. Winnable race. INORDINARY (5) Led throughout to win by a margin of 10L last run at Belterra Park. Should be going forward early. Can give this a shake.

Jumped at $12.00 and average performance when 7th last time at Churchill Downs but can save some energy from the barrier. Can go through the gears. Place hope.

Fairly underwhelming when 6th last start at Churchill Downs but matched against less formidable competition. Brittany A Vanden Berg has been training plenty of winners recently. Prefer in an easier race.

First up today. Finished hard to win last start at Turfway Park and having second career run. Should be swooping on the field late. Can measure up against these.

Finished well when winning last start at Churchill Downs and demonstrating upward trajectory in recent races. First start for a new trainer. Should muster plenty of early toe. Definite claims.

Jumped at $53.00 and sub-standard effort when 6th last run at Churchill Downs and competing in a higher grade. Will be positive in the run early. Needs a lot of luck to figure in the finish.

Started $3.00 and underwhelming when 4th last run at Horseshoe Indianapolis and will be down in distance. Have to respect the recent Brad H Cox form. Solid chance.
