Ellis Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance

TRE ITALIANI (5) has been freshened up since a narrow defeat last time over 1308m at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Sure to feature again. SUPER HAPPY (4) finished eighth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1408m at this track, beaten 2 lengths after being in contention on the bend. Likely improver with strong prospects. SHOW TIME (2) is a nine-time winner who has been racing in great heart, scoring by a nose last time out over 1308m at this track. Has a strong record at this journey and should be thereabouts. OPTICAL (7) was a winner over 1308m at Churchill Downs (Dirt) last time out, dropping out early before coming home with a powerful run to score by 1.5 lengths. Can figure in the finish.
