Ellis Park Race 8 - Audubon Oaks Presented By Og Cappers Stakes
CONCEIT (3) Gave them a lesson when winning by a margin of more than 10L last time at Churchill Downs and showing consistent performance in races. Up in class. Can give this a shake. TWIRLING ACES (9) Led and controlled the pace when winning by a margin of 4 1/4L last run at this track but competing at a higher level of competition. Key player. BETTY'S PEARL (2) Ran on strongly when 2nd last run at Horseshoe Indianapolis and facing a weaker group of contenders. Mario Gutierrez and Brian A Lynch are usually competitive together. Gets a chance to win. PERCY'S BAR (5) Didn't find the line when 5th last run at Churchill Downs. Expecting improvement but will be dropping in distance. Racing in stronger company. Strong chance.

Was strong late when 2nd last start at this venue and fitter for debut run. Prefers to settle towards the rear. Drawn the rails. This is a tough race.

Amongst the placegetters when 2nd beaten by 2 1/2L last run at Horseshoe Indianapolis and competing in an easier class. Mario Gutierrez and Brian A Lynch are an imposing duo. Must be considered here.

Won by a huge margin of just over 10L last time at Churchill Downs and promising career start. Florent Geroux usually performs well for the Brad H Cox stable. Definitely worth considering.

Came on strongly to finish 2nd last time around here but up against tougher rivals. Producing consistent results since returning from a spell. Prefer in something a lot easier.

Was strong late when 3rd beaten by 4 1/2L last start at Saratoga but up against stronger rivals. Looking elsewhere.

Showed a clean pair of heels to win by 4 1/4L last run at this track but facing a stronger class. Good potential.
