Ellis Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance

TWIRLING ACES (3) impressed when successful as favourite on debut over 1207m at Churchill Downs (Dirt) five weeks ago. Sure to be further improved and can make it back-to-back wins. BATTIS GROVE (10) showed good speed over 1308m at Churchill Downs (Dirt) and led throughout to score. More weight to carry this time but is a leading contender. IF IF IF (4) stuck on well when resuming last start to finish third over 1207m at this track (Dirt) after showing good early speed. Nicely placed to take this out. KENZ (1) looks to launch this prep the way she ended the last ten months ago when she scored over 1408m at Churchill Downs. Ticks all the right boxes.
