Ellis Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance Optional Claiming
CAT ON TIME (5) was well in commission last time but ran below expectations when fifth and beaten 5 lengths over 1509m at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Ready to bounce back today. EAKLY (10) resumed last time out and finished second over 1106m at Churchill Downs, beaten 2.75 lengths. Likely to be in the finish. GILDED RULER (3) made progress last time out, finishing 2 lengths from the winner in third when he made late ground at the end of 1006m at Horseshoe Indianapolis. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is capable of testing his rivals. BAD BEAT BRIAN (4) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when fourth over 1106m at Churchill Downs (Turf) after being prominent at the corner. Has started three times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Perfectly placed and is sure to be there at the finish. Something for the Multiples: JOHNNY PODRES (2) ATTACHE (9) TEST FACTOR (6)
