Ellis Park Race 3

Starter Allowance

Stake: -

THE TOWN (1) Ran over the top of them when winning last run at Churchill Downs and suited at this distance in the past. Competing in an easier class. Has to be included. MISCHIEF MANIA (6) Racing fresh today after a break. Folded up in the straight when 4th last start at Churchill Downs. Happy to overlook that run. First race for a new trainer. Will be there at the finish. MIDWAY MUNNY (7) Charged home to win last run at Churchill Downs but up in class. Will be pushing for a forward position early. First start for a new trainer. Suitably placed in this race. STOLEN POWER (5) Ran on strongly when 3rd beaten by 1 3/4L last time at Horseshoe Indianapolis but competing at a higher level of competition. Could run into the placings.

Stormed home to win last run at Churchill Downs and will appreciate the drop in class. Ben Curtis and Aaron Shorter are a combination worth noting. Very tidy performer.

Odds of $12.00 and finished 4th last start at Churchill Downs but challenged by less formidable competitors. Likely to be well placed early. Has a positive gate. Place claims at best.
