Ellis Park - Race #5 - Post: 2:42pm - Claiming - 6.5 furlongs on the Dirt. Purse: $11,500 Class Rating: 86
Rating:3
#8 UTMOST INTENSITY (ML=8/1)
#1 KEY TO THE BANK (ML=5/1)
#9 SANDHILL SAMMY (ML=10/1)
UTMOST INTENSITY - This horse is in good condition, having run a strong race on August 13th, finishing second. Based on this horse's recent efforts, he should be aided by today's shorter trip. Widely used handicapping angle - 3rd or 4th start after a vacation generally leads to a big effort. A live one today. KEY TO THE BANK - This rider/conditioner duo has been producing a very lucrative ROI, right at +133. SANDHILL SAMMY - Greenwell brings him right back. I recommend you stay with this live gelding. That 85 fig this gelding garnered in his last race tells me he's a big time player in today's event.
Vulnerable Contenders: #2 PROVIDENCE (ML=6/5), #1A NORTHERN RANGER (ML=5/1), #4 RIPPIN RIDE (ML=6/1),
PROVIDENCE - Last ran on Jul 29th at Ellis Park, finishing fifth. Not likely to perk up off of that try in today's race. NORTHERN RANGER - Not likely that the speed figure he recorded on July 9th will be enough in this event. RIPPIN RIDE - Hasn't hit the board in any short distance contests recently. Improbable to see him doing it this time either.
