Ellis Park Race 7 - Race 7 - Allowance Optional Claiming
CUT TO THE CHASE (3) is racing well, scoring two back at Keeneland (Dirt) before finishing 2.5 lengths from the winner in third last time over 1207m at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Has a high cruising speed. Expecting a bold showing. ROJO RITA (8) scored two back at Churchill Downs (Dirt) but was below her best last time when seventh over 1207m at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Has the talent to find the winners' list. SHE'Z THE LAW (9) scored first-up two starts ago on dirt at Churchill Downs the couldn't repeat the dose last time, again on dirt, at Churchill Downs over 1207m when beaten 5.5 lengths into eighth. Expect she will continue the good form. TAQDEER (1) is having her first run on turf and has changed stables since winning by 2 lengths last start on dirt over 1207m at Churchill Downs. Has good early toe so she should be handy in the run. Sure to be thereabouts. Something for the Multiples: DON'T SAY IT (2) INSIGHTFUL MISS (6)

Comes off a 35 day let-up. Last start 2nd in a small field at Churchill Downs on June 13 over 1308m, 2.75 len behind Don't Say It carrying 53.5kg at $3.93.
