Ellis Park Race 7 - Race 7 - Claiming
TAUNTING (12) finished out of the money two starts back then he was always well out of his ground and was beaten 4 lengths when eighth in a 2012m contest at this track a month ago. Will enjoy a drop in class so he is likely to play a big role. DA PRINCE IS RIGHT (5) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 6 lengths when eighth over 1609m at Churchill Downs Turf two months ago. Won't find this as tough so he is set to turn things around. DISPERSION (3) finished second at Churchill Downs two runs back but didn't measure up last time over 1308m at Ellis Park (Dirt), finishing 18 lengths back in seventh. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. RULOOKINFORRAYRAY (4) finished third last time over 1609m at Churchill Downs Turf (Turf), beaten 2.75 lengths. Will trim down following recent racing. Placed to advantage so expect another bold run. Something for the Multiples: TIMBERLINE (11)
