Ellis Park Race 3 - Race 3 - Allowance Optional Claiming

TAP ME A SONG (5) built on a nice second two starts back at Churchill Downs (Dirt) with success over 1308m at Churchill Downs (Dirt) a month ago, getting home by a nose. Looks well placed so expect another big run. TAYLOR'S VERSION (8) last appeared when he finished fifth over 1207m at Churchill Downs (Dirt) on November 20. Rates highly and makes plenty of appeal. EXPLORATION (3) is unbeaten this campaign, the latest win coming over 1308m at Churchill Downs (Dirt) when he got home by 0.8 lengths. Generally runs well third up from a spell so he is among the winning hopes. SINNER'S SIN (7) registered a strong win two runs ago then turned in a decent effort last time out when second over 1207m at Prairie Meadows, beaten a nose. Worth another chance.

At the latest run held ground to the line 2nd of 8 at Churchill Downs on June 24 over 1408m, 1.3 len behind High Ceiling with 56kg at $2.05. The run before that ran second last of 7 at Churchill Downs Turf on May 28 over 1106m, 6 len behind We're In Trouble with 55kg at $10.96. Not far off the winner latest and looks a genuine hope.
