Ellis Park Race 1 - Race 1 - Starter Allowance
BOB'S CARROT (2) showed good pace over 1408m at Churchill Downs (Dirt) when resuming last time and went on to score by 3.5 lengths. Finds a suitable race and can take this out. COLONEL CALIENTE (1) had been racing well with three consecutive placings before last start managing only seventh over 1408m at Churchill Downs. Commendable record at this trip with a win and four minor placings and is expected to feature. HESPER (4) scored an impressive win by 4 lengths when resuming from a spell last time out over 1207m at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Will be better for that latest run and is expected to feature in the finish. KID TWIST (6) was in the placings again last time when 0.8 lengths adrift in second over 1207m at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. Something for the Multiples: CAPITAL CONNECTION (7)

Second run back. Comes off a 51-day let-up. First-up after two months scored a big 3.5 len win at Churchill Downs May 21 over 1408m defeating Michael's Cove carrying 56kg at $5.97. Previously second-up scored a big 4 len win at Churchill Downs June 22 2025 over 1207m defeating Leading Role with 53.5kg at $2.12. Only needs to hold that form to be winning again. Improver with winning prospects.

Second-up. First-up after three months scored a big 4 len win at Churchill Downs June 14 over 1207m defeating Dispersion with 56kg at $2.97. Previously second-up didn't finish the race at Churchill Downs September 14 over 1408m. The one to beat based on that latest effort. Improver with winning prospects.

Comes off a 31 day let-up. Most recently ran last of 8 at Churchill Downs on June 10 over 1207m, 18 len behind Send Cash with 56kg at $9.03. The start before that ran second last in a small field at Churchill Downs on May 16 over 1207m, 2.5 len behind Slider carrying 56kg at $4.80. Will need to improve many lengths to feature.

Form hard to fault. Returns from a 31-day let-up. At the latest run 4th of 8 at Churchill Downs on June 10 over 1207m, 6 len behind Send Cash carrying 56kg at $3.33. The start before that ran on from midfield and won by 1.75 len at Oaklawn Park April 23 over 1207m defeating Fifth Avenue carrying 56.5kg at $5.50. Can do a lot better than that last run.
