Ellis Park Race 6 - Race 6 - Starter Allowance
THEA (5) was a narrow winner two back at Churchill Downs (Dirt) then in the placings last time at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Drops a little in the weights. Has a win and two minor placings at this journey from four starts and is sure to play a big role. DANCEWHENYOUCAN (9) got well back over 1308m at Churchill Downs (Dirt) last time and never threatened, eventually finishing 29 lengths away in eighth. Has the talent to take care of this field. ANGEL BELLA (1) finished third last start over 1609m at Churchill Downs (Dirt), beaten 6 lengths. This is the right race and can get the job done. PROMISEMEANEMPIRE (8) was in contention on the turn and finished third last start over 1609m at Churchill Downs Turf (Dirt), beaten 4 lengths. Will be rock-hard fit. In the right race and is one of the better hopes.

Comes here off a 29-day let-up. Last start won by 0.8 len at Churchill Downs June 3 over 1609m defeating Cognizant carrying 53.5kg at $3.10. Before that 3rd of 12 at Churchill Downs on May 9 over 1408m, 5 len behind Tanya's Momentum carrying 53.5kg at $57.63. Happy enough to dismiss in this field.
