Ellis Park Race 3 - Race 3 - Mdn Optional Claiming
DONIE MARONIE (7) produced a nice effort on debut in better company last start over 1106m at this track (Turf) when third, beaten 2.5 lengths. Promising type with improvement to come so she should be in the finish again. DOCTOR APPROVED (8) did little and finished 6 lengths from the winner in sixth over 1207m at Ellis Park last start, a less impressive effort than her fourth on debut at Churchill Downs the run before. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. QUE SERA (2) is a two-year-old filly on debut from the stable of Eddie Kenneally. By Mendelssohn from Froskurinn. Expected to feature. UCANTHANDLTHETRUTH (6) is on debut. By Oscar Performance and hails from the John C Servis stable. Watch the market closely.
