Ellis Park Race 1 - Race 1 - Claiming
WHISKEY SHOT (3) Looked outclassed when 7th last time at Churchill Downs. Likely to bounce back but up against a higher level of opposition. In the mix. CULPRIT (4) Outsprinted late when 4th last run at Churchill Downs and facing weaker opposition. First appearance for a new trainer. Should muster plenty of early speed. Can get the job done. JINXZI (5) Weakened to finish 4th last start at Churchill Downs. Expected to rebound but facing a stronger group of contenders. No shock to see a win. ROMANTIC LEAD (1) Displayed good finishing speed when 2nd last time at Belterra Park and back to a longer distance. Will be aiming for a soft run from the draw. One of the hopes. Something for the Multiples: TIMBERLINE (2)

Came on strongly to finish 2nd last time at Belterra Park and stepping back up in trip. Has the ideal barrier. Form has been improving over recent runs. Can figure in the finish.

At $8.00 well beaten when 5th last start at Churchill Downs but will try to take advantage of the barrier. Expected to be flashing home. Facing formidable rivals. Looking elsewhere.

Jumped at $6.50 and tailed off to finish 7th last time at Churchill Downs. Likely to bounce back but challenged by a tougher grade. Win will not surprise.

Jumped at $4.33 and couldn't maintain the pace when 4th last start at Churchill Downs. Expected to rebound but racing against tougher rivals. Great chance.
