Ellis Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance
IF IF IF (4) First up after a break. Led all the way when winning by a margin of just short of 9L last start at Oaklawn Park. First start for a new trainer. Strong chance. BATTIS GROVE (10) Led all the way when winning by a margin of 4 3/4L last start at Churchill Downs. Recent form of William Walden is strong. Appears well in this. KENZ (1) First up from a 41 week break. Flew home to win last run at Churchill Downs and drawn the rails. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Will give a big sight. LAMORNA INN (2) Was much too speedy in front to win by a margin of 1 3/4L last start at Horseshoe Indianapolis and having second race start. Gets a chance to win.

Bolted in when winning by a margin of 3 3/4L last start at Churchill Downs. Might have to make up considerable ground. Prefer in an easier race.

Odds of $36.00 and faded to finish 8th last run at Churchill Downs and stepping up to a higher level. Few more classier types in this race.
