Ellis Park Race 3 - Race 3 - Mdn Optional Claiming
DONIE MARONIE (7) made an encouraging debut last time out, finishing 2.5 lengths from the winner in third over 1106m at this track (Turf). Likely improver who should go well. 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. Suitably placed so anticipating 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. A good gate is sure to assist. Expect a bold run. UCANTHANDLTHETRUTH (6) is on debut. By Oscar Performance and is out of the John C Servis stable. Worth watching for a betting push. Something for the Multiples: ZARZUELA (1)
