Ellis Park Race 3 - Race 3 - Mdn Claiming
CAN'T STOP WILLIS (3) Resuming after a break. In the money when 3rd last run at Churchill Downs. Jockey Francisco Arrieta and trainer Cameron Milligan work well together. Strong hope. TURNBUCKLE (6) Honest race when 2nd last start at Belterra Park. Should go close. AL AMJAAD (7) Underperformed when 9th last time at Horseshoe Indianapolis. Will give a big sight. HAMLET (4) Ran 6th last run around here. Jockey Brian Joseph Hernandez Jr and trainer Paul J Mcgee go well together. Exotics and place chance.

First run back from a 33 week break. Started $53.00 and average effort when 9th last time at Turfway Park but drawn the rails. Very unlikely to cause an upset.

Started at $11.00 and faded in the late stages when 4th last start at this track and was a debutant last start. Won't be far away during the run. Limited possibility.

Started at $5.50 and came in 5th last start here. Yet to fire this preparation with no placings from 6 runs. Might be ridden for luck. Won't find this easy.

Odds of $8.00 and below expectations when 9th last time at Horseshoe Indianapolis. Solid claims.

Resumes from a spell. At $16.00 tailed off to finish 7th last run at Churchill Downs but having second career run. First appearance for a new trainer. Hard to see it being competitive today.

Resuming after a spell. Was $36.00 and performed below standard when 7th last start at Aqueduct but racing over a longer distance. Coming to a new trainer. Remote chance at best.
