Ellis Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance
STORMTOWN (10) registered his first win when resuming last start over 1106m at Churchill Downs Turf (Turf), getting home by 2 lengths. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Francisco Arrieta was in the saddle on that occasion and retains the ride. Big chance to go back-to-back. MILITARY CRUISER (7) ran fourth at his latest appearance over 1106m at Churchill Downs Turf, clocking in 2.5 lengths from the winner. Perfectly placed to score. VANDERBILT (9) went forward last start over 1207m at Churchill Downs (Dirt) and held on well for third, beaten 1.75 lengths. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is good enough to take this out. MIRACLE MARK (4) has switched yards since finishing second four weeks ago over 1609m at Churchill Downs. One of the genuine hopes in the race.
