Ellis Park Race 7 - Race 7 - Starter Allowance

GENE AND JUDE (2) comes here off a last-start fourth, beaten 2 lengths, over 1609m at Saratoga Inner Turf. Sure to prove tough to beat. THE DOVER SPECTER (1) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on June 3, finishing fifth and beaten 4 lengths over 1710m at Horseshoe Indianapolis Turf (Turf). Looks a winning chance. KICKING CLEAR (6) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he was always well out of his ground over 2012m at this track, beaten 2.5 lengths into seventh. Has the ability to take care of this field. MICHAEL'S COVE (4) tackled a turf track for the first time and continued the recent run of good form when he found one better over 1609m at this track last start. Must be included again.

The run before that 2nd of 8 at Churchill Downs on May 21 over 1408m, 3.5 len behind Bob's Carrot carrying 56kg at $11.41. Nice draw and worth thought.

Had two starts to date. At debut, came from midfield and won by a 0.3 len at Churchill Downs on May 23 over 1207m defeating Highway Patrol carrying 56kg at $11.96. Second-up crossed from a wide gate to settle just off the pace but gave ground when 5th of 12 at Churchill Downs Turf on June 20 over 1609m, 4 len behind Mega Magic carrying 56kg at $10.57. Others look better placed.
