Ellis Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance
IF IF IF (4) On a quick back up. Set a strong tempo before fading at the finish to place 3rd last time at this track and solid career start. Up against stronger opponents. Worth strong consideration. BATTIS GROVE (10) Set the pace to win by a margin of 4 3/4L last start at Churchill Downs. William Walden stable are running hot lately. Up to these. KENZ (1) Fresh after a 42 week spell. Stormed home to win last run at Churchill Downs and putting a tidy record together so far. Has early speed and positions nicely. Can get the job done. LAMORNA INN (2) Went to the front and never looked back when winning by 1 3/4L last time at Horseshoe Indianapolis and was a debutant last start. Has plenty of early speed. Will be around the mark at odds.

Fresh today after a break of 42 weeks. Finished well when winning last run at Churchill Downs and has drawn to do little work. Likely to be well placed early. Solid claims.

Caught the eye when 2nd beaten by 6L last start at Churchill Downs but matched against a stronger field. Looking sharp on the track this campaign. Can't leave out of your calculations.

Won easily by a margin of 3 3/4L last run at Churchill Downs. Does take a while to get into stride. Slim hope.

Made all when winning by a margin of 4 3/4L last start at Churchill Downs. William Walden stable are on a hot streak. Good chance and definitely has claims.
