Churchill Downs Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance
AMOR PATRIAE (6) finished second as favourite last time out over 1207m at Ellis Park (Dirt), making it four minor placings from five starts this time in work. Suited in this and looks the testing material. MITTY'S GRIDDY (1) resumed last time out and finished third over 1207m at Ellis Park, beaten 2.75 lengths. Will be hard to beat. MAP TO THE STARS (3) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just once from 11 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when sixth over 1609m at Ellis Park, beaten 4 lengths. Taking on a better field but he is sure to play a feature role. FAUST (7) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1308m at Ellis Park, beaten 4 lengths. Looks to be in the right race so expect another big run.
