Ellis Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Starter Allowance

BOURBON FLIGHT (8) has been going well this prep, scoring last start over 1710m at Churchill Downs (Dirt) to make it three wins from five runs this time in. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Likely to feature. SPIRIT OF A WALKON (5) failed to run a strong 1710m last start after a close third over 1609m at Churchill Downs (Dirt) the run prior. Appeals back in trip this time so should run well. CHAIRMANOFTHEBOARD (9) has not been sighted since he finished sixth over 1609m at Churchill Downs on June 5. Well placed and likely to feature. THE TOWN (6) comes here following a win over 1609m at this track three-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by 0.8 lengths. Has an impressive three wins from nine career starts. Among the main hopes.
