Ellis Park Race 7 - Race 7 - Allowance Optional Claiming
EAKLY (1) resumed last time out and finished second over 1106m at Churchill Downs, beaten 2.75 lengths. Well placed and should be tough to beat. JOHNNY PODRES (5) improved sharply on his seventh two starts back at Gulfstream Park (Turf) with a win as favourite over 1106m at Gulfstream Park (Synthetic) five-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by 2.25 lengths after being in the firing line on the bend. Going up a level this time but he can go back-to-back. BAD BEAT BRIAN (8) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing fourth at Churchill Downs (Turf) over 1106m after being in the firing line on the bend. Has started three times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Tackling a more suitable race this time so he is set to turn things around. SURF CITY (2) turned in another moderate effort last start when 7 lengths from the winner in tenth over 1106m at Churchill Downs. Better than recent efforts suggest.
