Ellis Park Race 9 - Race 9 - Allowance Optional Claiming
TICKLED QUIST (8) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing third last time out over 1811m at Churchill Downs (Turf). Likely to press forward from wide out. Beautifully placed and is sure to give this a mighty shake. SOME PERFORMANCE (6) broke his maiden last start over 1811m at Churchill Downs (Turf), scoring by 4 lengths. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. No reason he cannot get the job done again. THE WARDEN (10) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race and finished 4 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1609m at Churchill Downs. Tackling a more suitable race this time so he can find the winners' list. COVERT LAW (4) performed above expectations last time over 1609m at Churchill Downs (Turf), getting the prize by 0.3 lengths. Worth including.
