Ellis Park Race 9 - Race 9 - Allowance Optional Claiming
NOSHAMETOHERGAME (12) First up after a 26 week break. Managed to finish 3rd last time at Fair Grounds but facing a stronger grade. Has the necessary speed to mitigate the wide draw. No shock to see a win. MARKET CHILL (7) Looked outclassed when 4th last run at Churchill Downs. Stable is in form. Will give a big sight. EMBRACE TIME (9) Kept chasing when 4th last time at Churchill Downs and competing in a less challenging grade. Jockey Florent Geroux and trainer Brad H Cox go well together. Can win. INFINITE SKY (6) First run back after a 35 week spell. Came in 6th last time at Del Mar but matched against a less competitive field. Can take this out.

Jumped at $12.00 and finished 5th last start at Churchill Downs but challenged by less formidable competitors. Jockey Yedsit Hazlewood is highly regarded and has drawn the rails. Can't leave out of your calculations.

Started $53.00 and below par when 8th last time at Churchill Downs but challenged by weaker competitors. Likely to get back in the field. Drawn nicely. Few more classier types in this race.
