Ellis Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance
HIGHGROVE (5) was safely held when third last start over 1308m at Churchill Downs, beaten 8 lengths after being in contention on the corner. That followed a good win on debut at Aqueduct. Finds a suitable race and can return to winning ways. MOONLIGHT DASH (7) was well in the market last time and made it two minor placings from as many runs this prep when 9 lengths away in second over 1308m at this track (Dirt). Fitter and should go well. TRUE PASSION (2) hit the frame two starts ago at Churchill Downs but ran below par last time when sixth and beaten 3 lengths over 1106m at Ellis Park Turf (Turf). Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. RATIONAL THEORY (4) was well in commission last time but ran below expectations when fourth and beaten 10 lengths over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Sound record at this distance with two wins and four minor placings from nine runs and deserves respect.

Comes off a 47 day let-up. At the latest run 4th in a small field at this track on July 5 over 1207m, 10 len behind French Blue with 55.5kg at $5.44. The race before that raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 6th of 9 at Churchill Downs Turf on June 12 over 1106m, 5 len behind Something Stronger with 56kg at $8.27. Safely held last start but is capable of better.
