Ellis Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance
PATROL SQUAD SIX (1) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when one length away in third over 1710m at this track (Turf) when he was prominent throughout. Likely improver with strong prospects. SWIFT BLADE (2) is coming off a last-start fourth, beaten 1.75 lengths, over 1609m at Churchill Downs Turf. Ideally placed to score. WHATCHADOIN (8) was prominent at the corner and finished third last start at the first run back from a spell over 1609m at Churchill Downs Turf (Turf) when he did his best work late, beaten 3 lengths. Faces an easier assignment so he is a key runner. HIGHLY CONNECTED (6) was beaten 1.1 lengths into fourth in a 1710m contest at this track last time out. Well placed to bounce back.
