Ellis Park Race 4

Allowance

Prize Money: $109,774

GIVE ME A REASON (7) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing second last time when he was handy all the way over 1710m at Oaklawn Park (Dirt). Faces an easier assignment so he is one of the main contenders. RUN JALEN RUN (3) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by 5 lengths over 1408m at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Finds a suitable race and can get the chocolates. NOT THIS BOY (5) was in the firing line on the corner and finished second last start at the first run back from a spell over 1207m at Churchill Downs (Dirt), beaten 4 lengths. Has the class to figure prominently. MERIT (1) is fresh from a spell of three months and did hit the frame when last resuming at Gulfstream Park (Dirt) over 1609m. In a different yard now.
