Ellis Park Race 4 - Race 4 - Mdn Claiming
HITCHCOCK (3) resumes from a spell of five months. Could only manage to finish fifth at the latest run over 1710m at Fairgrounds (Dirt). Opened last prep with a minor placing at Fairgrounds Turf over 1106m. Ready for a bold run. INTERROGATOR (9) is a three-start maiden who could only manage to finish sixth at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track (Dirt). This offers him a great chance of breaking through. SILVER SNIPER (7) is third up today and looks close to a win after finishing a close second last time out over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Should be poised just off the lead. Capable of testing this field. HIMOTHY (6) was last at the races when he finished eighth over 1006m at Churchill Downs Turf (Turf) on May 7. Definite top-three chance.

Lining up for just third start. At debut, settled back and ran on when 4th of 7 at Keeneland on April 12 over 1408m, 20 len behind Civil Liberty carrying 54.5kg at $20.43. Last start 9th of 11 at Churchill Downs on June 4 over 1609m, 23 len behind Spellmaker carrying 53.5kg at $10.95. Finds a few better today. Can't recommend.

Is first-up after a break of five months and has been in the money when fresh before. Finished off last preparation when last in a small field at Fairgrounds March 7 over 1710m, 26 len behind Corona De Oro carrying 56.5kg at $9.40. When resuming last campaign third of 8 at Fairgrounds Turf January 2 over 1106m, 1.5 len behind Snare with 56kg at $2.30. Could prove too smart for these.
