Ellis Park Race 3 - Race 3 - Starter Optional Claiming

LORD MAJESTY (1) recorded a strong on-pace win here last time by half a length over 1308m. Among the top chances again. DERBY DATE (5) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing second last time out over 1308m at this track (Dirt). Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. SWISS GUARD (3) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by half a length over 1811m at Fairmount Park (Dirt). That continued the solid form this campaign, with seven wins and six minor placings from 19 outings. Among the leading players again. BOURBON'S FAULT (10) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on June 18, finishing fourth and beaten 7 lengths over 1408m at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Looks a strong top-three prospect. Something for the Multiples: NIP N TUCK (2)

Form hard to fault. Most recently tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 0.5 len at this track on July 31 over 1308m defeating Derby Date with 56kg at $8.66. The run before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a 0.3 len at this track on July 4 over 1207m defeating Gee No Hollander with 55.5kg at $2.95. Draws the inside and should take beating.

The start before that 3rd of 7 at Fairmount Park on June 6 over 1673m, 3.5 len behind Swiss Guard carrying 56kg at $4.30. Better than that recent lacklustre performance suggests.
