Ellis Park Race 3 - Race 3 - Claiming

GYPSAN (7) registered a strong win at Churchill Downs two runs ago. Fair effort last time out when prominent at the bend before finishing second over 1609m at this track, beaten half a length. Likely improver with strong prospects. BIG DIG (4) is in top form, most recently recording a win by half a length over 1609m at this track (Dirt) to make it two on the bounce. Should park just off the speed. Will prove tough to beat. LESLIE'S MOJEAUX (8) went forward last start over 1207m at Lone Star Park (Dirt) and held on well for second, beaten 1.5 lengths. Tackling a deeper field this time but she is good enough to take this out. UP THE CREEK (1) was heavily backed and justified the support when resuming last start over 1207m at this track (Dirt), scoring by 2.5 lengths. Open to plenty of improvement and is worth including.

The start before that held ground to the line 3rd of 8 at Churchill Downs on May 14 over 1609m, 3.5 len behind Beira with 51.5kg at $7.18. Be tough to make an impression in this line-up.
