Ellis Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance
SHARONS PHAROAH (5) First up and big effort to finish 3rd beaten by 2 1/2L first up last preparation at Santa Anita. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Should go close. SWIFT BLADE (2) Improved late to finish 4th last time at Churchill Downs and gets a favourable gate. Can go through the gears. Brad H Cox stable are running hot lately. Goes very close. PASSWORD (4) First up after 38 weeks and amongst the placegetters when 2nd first up last preparation at Churchill Downs. Change in trainer but competing in a higher grade. Strong chance. WHITE TIGER (7) Back from a 26 week break. Weakened under pressure when 9th last start at Fair Grounds. Should improve and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Should be competitive in this race at a bit of odds.

Was outmatched at the end of the race when 3rd last time at the track and gets the perfect gate. Looking sharp on the track since resuming from a spell. Respect the betting.

Was $4.50 and showed some merit late when 4th last time at Churchill Downs and will try to take advantage of the draw. Competing at a higher grade. Good chance and definitely has claims.

Resuming after a 26 week break. Odds of $8.50 and tailed off to finish 9th last start at Fair Grounds. Should improve and putting a tidy record together so far. Has strong claims.

At $16.00 advanced late into 4th last time at Churchill Downs and going over more ground. Up against a higher level of opposition. Not ready for this level.
