Ellis Park Race 7 - Race 7 - Allowance Optional Claiming
PINFIRE (3) was well in commission last time but ran below expectations when fifth and beaten 3.5 lengths over 1207m at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Best figures should see him run well. CAT ON TIME (8) ran below expectations last time at Churchill Downs (Dirt), finishing fifth and beaten 5 lengths starting at $3.49. Tackling a more suitable race this time so he will be hard to beat. GATESKEEPER (1) got the job done when resuming last start at Churchill Downs (Dirt) over this distance after he was in the firing line on the bend. Has a strong record at this trip, scoring two times from four starts. Has solid claims. DEER DISTRICT (5) has registered four minor placings from six runs this preparation. Continued the trend at the most recent appearance when runner-up over 1509m at Churchill Downs (Dirt). In a suitable race and can find the winner's circle.
