Ellis Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance
DUKE OF DUVAL (6) accounted for a maiden field over 1609m at this track (Dirt) last start, finishing 4.5 lengths ahead of the nearest rival. Re-unites with Keith J Asmussen who was on board last start. Capable of making it two on the trot. BERMUDA BLITZ (1) built on a nice third two starts back at Churchill Downs (Dirt) with success as public elect over 1609m at this track (Dirt) three-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by 1.75 lengths. Finds a tougher race but he has the talent to test this line-up. SIPPIN ON GIN (5) resumes from a spell of nine weeks. Has filled a minor placing at both first-up runs. Opened last prep with a second over 1609m at Evangeline Downs. Expected to run well. LAUGHNOWCRYLATER (4) was in the firing line on the turn and finished second last time over 1710m at Churchill Downs (Dirt) when resuming from a spell, beaten 2.25 lengths. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is right in contention.
