Ellis Park Race 8

Audubon Oaks Presented By Og Cappers Stakes

Prize Money: $285,307

PERCY'S BAR (5) is a talented filly who was tested in tougher class last time when fifth over 1710m at Listed level at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Luan Machado who has three wins when partnering stays on. Sure to play a big role. CONCEIT (3) went forward and proved too strong when resuming last time out, scoring by 10 lengths over 1609m at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Meets some better types this time but a win is not out of the question. BETTY'S PEARL (2) is racing well. Scored at Churchill Downs (Dirt) two back then finished second, beaten 2.5 lengths, over 1710m in the G3 Indiana Oaks at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Dirt) at the latest appearance four weeks ago. Mario Gutierrez who has two wins when partnering stays on. Should be involved in the finish. A FINE CHARDONNAY (8) turned in a better run last time at the second run back to finish third over 1308m at Saratoga. Well placed and can figure in the finish again.

At debut, raced on the pace when 2nd of 7 at this track on July 12 over 1106m, on a wet track; 0.8 len behind Judicious with 54kg at $9.47. Good effort on debut but this looks a stern test.

The race before that scored a big 6 len win at Churchill Downs May 30 over 1609m defeating Soaring High with 53.5kg at $5.48. Ideally placed to play a significant role.

Second-up. Comes off a 44-day let-up. First-up after six months ran on from midfield and won by 10 len at Churchill Downs June 26 over 1609m defeating Leinani carrying 53.5kg at $3.15. Previously second-up won by 9 len at Horseshoe Indianapolis September 23 over 1673m defeating American Tapit with 54.5kg at $2.70. Great chance to make it two in a row. Improver with winning prospects.

Comes here off a 31-day let-up. Most recently 2nd of 7 at this track on July 9 over 1408m, 4 len behind Twirling Aces carrying 54.5kg at $15.67. The race before that came from midfield; 2nd of 7 at Churchill Downs on June 6 over 1207m, 6 len behind Wrong Shoes with 54.5kg at $5.29. Can't see her troubling these.

Third-up today and placed third-up previously. First-up ran second last in a small field at Churchill Downs in LR on June 7 over 1408m, 8 len behind Explora with 55.5kg at $9.08. Second run from a spell made ground from midfield; 3rd of 10 at Saratoga in the G3 Victory Ride Stakes on July 10 over 1308m, 4.5 len behind Sippin Pretty with 56kg at $20.13. Rates highly and is among the main hopes.

Yet to taste defeat in two starts. When well in the market on debut, raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 2.75 len at Churchill Downs June 3 over 1207m defeating By La Rina with 53.5kg at $2. Last start ran on from midfield and scored a big 4 len win at this track July 9 over 1408m defeating Bet The Gray with 55.5kg at $2.18. Will prove tough to beat.
