Ellis Park Race 5 - Race 5 - Allowance Optional Claiming
THE PROCESS (2) didn't threaten when resuming last start over 1609m at Churchill Downs (Turf), finishing sixth, beaten 7 lengths. Generally goes well with that run under the belt. Ready to find best form. ASPENITE (7) finished out of the money when fresh from a spell two starts back then was beaten 4.5 lengths when sixth over 1710m at Churchill Downs two weeks ago. Perfectly placed and is sure to be there at the finish. MULTITASK (8) built on a nice second two starts back at Churchill Downs (Turf) with a win over 1609m at Churchill Downs (Turf) five weeks ago, getting home by half a length. Tackling a more suitable race so he is a major player. ALDER (5) was in contention on the bend and finished third last start over 1609m at Churchill Downs (Turf), beaten 6 lengths. Will strip fitter this time. Should be about the money.
