Ellis Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance
SHOW TIME (2) Led all the way to win by a margin of a nose last time at this venue and gets a favourable barrier. On a winning streak the last 2 starts. Has the ability to take this out. TRE ITALIANI (5) Narrowly denied victory last time at Churchill Downs and displaying improvement over the past few runs. Gerardo Corrales and Larry Rivelli deserve serious attention as a team. Gets a chance to win. TROUBLE TIME (1) Back from a break of 30 weeks. Good result placing 3rd last run at Gulfstream Park and showing consistent performance in races. Drawn the rails. Looks to be value. GEARING UP (8) First up after a 57 week break. Controlled the speed to win by 2L last start at Churchill Downs and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Solid place bet prospects.

Fresh after a break of 30 weeks. Claimed late when 3rd last run at Gulfstream Park and drawn well. Solid career start. Facing formidable competition. Stands out as good value.

Led throughout to win by a nose last time here and can find a nice position from the draw. Undefeated last 2 runs but competing in a higher grade. Expecting a solid performance.

Jumped at $14.00 and lacklustre showing when 9th last time at Churchill Downs but promising career start. Has a great burst of speed late. Matched against tougher rivals. Place claims.

Close to claiming the win last time at Churchill Downs and on an upward trajectory in recent races. Won't be far away during the run. Racing in stronger company. Rates as one of the key chances.

First up from a spell of 43 weeks. Started $18.00 and was nothing special when 9th last run at Laurel Park and challenged by more formidable competitors. Prefer a return to something a lot easier.
