Ellis Park Race 3 - Race 3 - Mdn Optional Claiming
KIHEI KIANA (9) ran well on debut last start to finish third over 1006m at Churchill Downs (Dirt) in a tougher race. Likely improver so she will be hard to beat. CALLIE'S DANCE (10) produced a nice effort on debut in better company last start over 1006m at Churchill Downs (Dirt) when second, beaten 7 lengths. Sure to take a lot from that hitout so she will prove tough to beat. IGNORING ALANA (8) stepped out on her debut over 1006m at Horseshoe Indianapolis Turf (Turf) a week-and-a-half ago and finished fourth, beaten 5 lengths. Improver who can feature in the finish. DONIE MARONIE (4) is facing the starter for the first time. By Golden Pal and hails from the Mark E Casse stable. Worth watching for a betting push.
