Ellis Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance
REBEL INSTINCT (8) Kept chasing when 2nd beaten by 3 1/4L last time at Churchill Downs and facing weaker opposition. Florent Geroux usually performs well for this stable. Solid career start. Won't be far away. VOLENDAM (5) First up from a break of 11 weeks and flew home to win first up last preparation at Turfway Park. Yedsit Hazlewood is a strong choice aboard. Can measure up to this company. INORDINARY (1) Was much too speedy in front to win by 10L last time at Belterra Park and has drawn the rails. Knockout chance in this. VINTAGE COWBOY (4) Weakened to finish 6th last run at Lone Star Park but competing in a lower grade. Likely to be well placed early. Back to a shorter distance. Could run into the money.

First up after 9 weeks and romped home to win first up last preparation at Keeneland. Will find this grade easier. Has a positive draw. This one has a big task.

Jumped at $23.00 and looked outclassed when 5th last time at Churchill Downs and stepping up to a higher level. Putting up notable efforts since returning from a spell. Won't find this easy.

Was well beaten when 6th last run at Lone Star Park but matched against a less competitive field. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Not at all out of this race.

At $23.00 lost ground in the run home when 8th last start at Churchill Downs and racing in stronger company. Others are more appealing.
