Ellis Park Race 1 - Race 1 - Claiming

BIG DIG (2) scored at her most recent appearance, getting home by 0.1 lengths over 1710m at Churchill Downs (Dirt) as favourite. That continued the good form this campaign, with two wins from five starts. Leading player again. BOURBON SERENGETI (1) was below her best last time when sixth over 1609m at Churchill Downs (Dirt), beaten 11 lengths. Finds a suitable assignment and can bounce back. ARGAN (5) had a bit on her rivals last time with an impressive 5 lengths win over 1408m at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Has a win and three minor placings at this journey from five starts and is expected to be competitive. LITTLE DIXIE (3) last appeared two-and-a-half weeks ago over 1710m at Churchill Downs when she finished third. This is her first run for the Tito Moreno stable. Can make her presence felt.

Form hard to fault. Last start favourite; came from midfield and scored a big 5 len win at Churchill Downs June 11 over 1408m defeating Protomagic carrying 53.5kg at $2.04. The start before that rolled along in front then was edged out late 2nd in a small field at Churchill Downs on May 8 over 1710m, 0.1 len behind Gypsan with 53.5kg at $4.66. Big chance again.
