Ellis Park Race 3 - Race 3 - Mdn Claiming
D BIGALOW (3) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when second over 1207m at Churchill Downs (Dirt) after being prominent from the outset. Should enjoy a good run just off the speed. This doesn't look as hard so he is likely to play a big role. MCKINSENSE (6) is back after a break of 12 weeks. Went close to a maiden win before the layoff, finishing third at his latest appearance over 1207m at Oaklawn Park (Dirt). Rates highly and is a strong chance to break through. WINGFOOT (2) has switched yards since finishing third seven weeks ago over 1408m at Churchill Downs. Can make his presence felt. STONE COUNTY (10) gave away a big start at the top of the straight last start and finished 7 lengths from the winner in fifth over 1308m at Churchill Downs (Dirt). This looks a nice race so expect him to finish closer.
