Ellis Park Race 6 - Race 6 - Allowance Optional Claiming
SO SANDY (3) is back from a spell of nine months and does go well when fresh, including a win to launch last campaign over 1673m at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Dirt). Leading contender. DIVE BOMBER (8) finished 3 lengths away in fifth last time out over 1408m at Churchill Downs three weeks ago. Steps up in journey today. Cristian Mauricio Torres has registered two minor placings when on board. Should be hard to stop. LUNAR MODULE (5) built on a nice second two starts back at Oaklawn Park (Dirt) with success over 1509m at Churchill Downs (Dirt) five weeks ago, getting home by 1.75 lengths. Stepping up a level this time but on current form he is one of the key runners. VAMOS CARLITOS (6) progressed nicely last start to finish a close second over 1408m at Churchill Downs after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. Something for the Multiples: ZAMBEZI (9)
