Ellis Park Race 2 - Race 2 - Allowance Optional Claiming

TIME FOR TRUTH (6) lines up for the first time since April 27. Looking to emulate his win at Oaklawn Park to kick off the last campaign. Has ability and should be right in the finish. MIDNIGHT TAXES (3) travelled in a rearwards position and turned in a mediocre run last time out over 1207m at Churchill Downs (Dirt) after a nice win the start prior. Finds the right race this time and can turn things around. NORMANDY HERO (5) was safely held when resuming last start over 1308m at Churchill Downs (Dirt), finishing fifth and beaten 9 lengths. Reunites with Alexis Achard who has two wins from six rides. Sure to be competitive. POWERFUL (2) is racing well including a last start tenth over 1609m at Churchill Downs (Turf). Likely to run well again.
