Ellis Park Race 1 - Race 1 - Claiming

HUTCHINSON (4) proved too strong two runs ago at Churchill Downs. Couldn't follow that up last time out when sixth over 1609m at Churchill Downs, beaten 21 lengths. Finds an easier assignment and can get the job done. REFINED DESIGN (1) did a great job to score by 2.75 lengths over this course and distance when first-up from a break last time out. Likely to be there at the finish again. VINO DOMINUS (8) scored two runs back then was popular with punters last time but could only manage to finish seventh over 1308m at Churchill Downs (Dirt) after he had settled well back. Has the class to take care of this field. POLITICS (7) was safely held and never threatened last time when eighth at Churchill Downs (Dirt) on a heavy surface but gets some weight relief today. Better than last start and can improve sharply.

Second run back. First-up after three months ran on from midfield and won by 2.75 len at this track July 12 over 1609m defeating El Ramundo carrying 53.5kg at $13.19. Previously second-up ran last of 12 at Turfway Park on January 17 over 1710m, 19 len behind Empire West carrying 54.5kg at $24.49. Great chance to make it two in a row. Improver with winning prospects.

Comes here off a 52-day let-up. Most recently 4th in a small field at Fairmount Park on June 9 over 1609m, 14 len behind W W Star with 57kg at $11.50. The start before that eased back early on 4th in a small field at Hawthorne Turf on May 31 over 1509m, 7 len behind Jock Frost with 56.5kg at $14.70. Needs to improve to trouble the top handful.

The race before that scored a big 4 len win at Churchill Downs May 17 over 1811m defeating Al Amjaad with 53.5kg at $3.61. Capable of more – worth another chance.

Comes off a 35 day let-up. Most recently ran second last of 8 at Churchill Downs on June 26 over 1308m, 14 len behind War Munny with 56.5kg at $3.93. Before that scored a big 3 len win at Churchill Downs May 31 over 1609m defeating Tims carrying 56.5kg at $3.46. Can make amends for a modest effort last time.
