Ellis Park Race 3 - Race 3 - Claiming
MOUQEER (6) broke through for his maiden win over 1106m at Churchill Downs (Dirt) last time. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Looks well placed and he is a key runner. EDITOR (4) improved sharply on his fifth two starts back at Churchill Downs (Dirt) with success over 1207m at Churchill Downs (Dirt) five weeks ago, getting home by one length after being in contention on the bend after he gave away a big start on the bend. Has the talent to take this out. HORSE OF THE SEA (8) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1609m at Horseshoe Indianapolis, beaten 2 lengths after being prominent at the turn. Jaime A Torres gets the best out of this three-year-old colt. Meets some better types this time but a better run will not surprise. NUCK CHORRIS (3) is back from a spell of three-and-a-half months. Won on debut at the only appearance last prep, collecting a 1207m contest at Turfway Park by one length. This sets up nicely. Something for the Multiples: INORDINARY (5)
