Ellis Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance
ROYAL GUARD (10) got off the mark over 2414m at Churchill Downs Turf (Turf) last start, scoring by 5 lengths. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Can go right on with the job now. TELESCOPIC (2) finished fourth two runs back then did well last start but found one better over 1811m at Churchill Downs Turf, beaten only 1.3 lengths after being prominent at the corner. Won't find this as tough so he is perfectly placed to score. MY BOY TONY (6) fought on well for third last start over 1811m at Churchill Downs Turf (Turf), making it three minor placings in a row. Expected to run well again. LAZLO (9) was expected to do more last start when out of the placings over 2213m at Churchill Downs Turf (Turf), beaten 16 lengths. Has the class to find the winners' list.

Comes here off a 41-day let-up. At the latest run won by 2 len at Belterra Park Turf June 6 over 1710m defeating Good Point with 56kg at $1.70. The run before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 8 at Belterra Park on May 8 over 1609m, 11 len behind Up To No Good carrying 56kg at $2.70. Latest form makes this a pretty tough assignment.

Form hard to fault. Comes off a 29 day let-up. Most recently 4th of 10 at Churchill Downs Turf on June 18 over 1811m, 5 len behind Supercharger with 57kg at $10.71. The run before that won by a nose at Churchill Downs Turf May 29 over 1710m defeating Mount Horeb with 56kg at $14.11. Can do a lot better than that last run.

Form hard to fault. Returns from a 29-day let-up. Most recently 3rd of 10 at Churchill Downs Turf on June 18 over 1811m, 5 len behind Supercharger carrying 56kg at $4.85. The race before that made ground from midfield; 3rd of 11 at Churchill Downs Turf on May 24 over 2213m, 4 len behind Write Off Jerry carrying 56kg at $14.30. Well placed. Should prove hard to beat.

Third-up today. Resumes off a 54 day letup. First-up got back early 8th of 10 at Churchill Downs Turf on April 25 over 1811m, 8 len behind Treaty Of Rome with 56.5kg at $15.98. Second run from a spell 5th of 11 at Churchill Downs Turf on May 24 over 2213m, 6 len behind Write Off Jerry carrying 56kg at $31.52. Better than that recent moderate performance suggests.
