Ellis Park Race 4 - Race 4 - Mdn Claiming
MAIN MISCHIEF (8) 3yo runner on debut by Maximus Mischief for Michael W Mccarthy. Yedsit Hazlewood is highly regarded. Watch betting. MAIORA (3) Weakened under pressure when 8th last time at Churchill Downs. Expecting improvement here. Luan Machado and William D Cowans must be respected together. In the mix. LADY FAYE (7) Faded away to finish 5th last time at Horseshoe Indianapolis. Should improve from the last run. Could run a race. BIRCH RUN (6) Did well to run into 3rd last start at Churchill Downs. Jockey Brian Joseph Hernandez Jr and trainer Paul J Mcgee show promise as a duo. Rates an each way chance.

Ran 7th last start at Horseshoe Indianapolis but has drawn the rails. Should jump out and bowl along. Stepping up in distance. Respect the betting.

Started at $43.00 and picked up some late ground when 4th last run at Churchill Downs and gets a favourable gate. Still in maiden grade after 8 starts. Would need to step up.

Racing fresh today after a break of 28 weeks. Odds of $36.00 and didn't threaten when 12th last run at Gulfstream Park. This looks a tough assignment.

3yo first starter by Maximus Mischief for trainer Michael W Mccarthy. Yedsit Hazlewood is a strong choice aboard. Watch for a sign in the market.

Jumped at $53.00 and fairly underwhelming when 8th last start at Churchill Downs. Likely to get back. Prefer others.

Started at $4.00 and folded up in the straight when 5th last start at Churchill Downs but having second career run. Has the necessary speed to mitigate the wide draw. A long shot.
