Ellis Park Race 9 - Race 9 - Mdn Optional Claiming
BON VOYAGE (1) was well in the market on debut last time out and ran well but found one better over 1106m at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Open to sharp improvement and can get off the mark this time. CROSSFIRE (7) went forward last start over 1006m at Churchill Downs (Dirt) and held on well for second, beaten one length. Beautifully placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. TRIM CASTLE (12) turned in a solid run last time when he boxed on to finish third at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Looks suited by his first attempt at the trip and can produce his best form this time. SEE YOU SOON (2) wasn't far away on debut last start over 1006m at Churchill Downs (Dirt), finishing fifth and beaten 2 lengths. Has ability and worth including.
