Ellis Park Race 6 - Race 6 - Allowance Optional Claiming
DOCTRINE (1) Tidy effort when 2nd last run at Churchill Downs and up against a less competitive field. Florent Geroux and Brad H Cox command respect as a team. Winning hope. PREPPED (9) First up after a break. Picked up late to win last run at Churchill Downs and good career start. Displays good finishing speed. Can go on with it. FORUM (7) Folded up in the straight when 6th last run at Thistledown but racing over a longer distance. First appearance for a new trainer but competing in a more challenging class. Could run into the money. ZAKINTHOS (4) Even though being overrun still grabbed 2nd last run at Churchill Downs and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Up against a more competitive field. Can't be left out of trifectas.

On a quick back up. Started $25.00 and ran 4th last start at Los Alamitos but facing an increased distance. Racing for a new trainer. Risky betting proposition.

Started at $12.00 and outpaced some runners late when 5th last time at Churchill Downs but testing ability against stronger contenders. May find these too slick.
