Ellis Park Race 1 - Race 1 - Claiming

HEARTBEAT (6) showed good early speed and raced on the pace last start before fading to finish fifth, beaten 5 lengths, over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Sure to give a great sight. DANZIG'S DORA (2) finished seventh over 1710m at Churchill Downs (Dirt) at her most recent appearance on June 14. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. MENKAURE (1) was last at the races when she finished third over 1408m at Churchill Downs (Dirt) on June 12. Lines up today for the first time for trainer Armando Hernandez. Looks a strong top-three prospect. FINAL SHIPMAN (7) was in the firing line on the corner and finished second last time over 1207m at this track (Dirt) when resuming from a spell, beaten 2.5 lengths. Likely improver with strong prospects.

Recent form sound. Returns from a 42-day let-up. At the latest run settled back and ran on when 4th of 8 at this track on July 10 over 1207m, 7 len behind Up The Creek with 53.5kg at $11.10. The race before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 0.8 len at Churchill Downs on June 3 over 1207m defeating Mascara carrying 53.5kg at $6.22. Cannot be ruled out despite a plain effort last time.
