Ellis Park Race 5 - Race 5 - Claiming
ARMY OFFICER (8) hasn't made an impression since resuming despite market confidence. Last start could only manage fifth over 1609m at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Can improve sharply. HURRY HURRY (1) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he got a long way back over 1609m at Churchill Downs, beaten 14 lengths into eighth. Has the talent to produce a better result. CHARBON (5) finished sixth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1673m at Horseshoe Indianapolis, beaten 2.5 lengths after being in contention on the bend. Tackling a deeper field this time but he is good enough to figure in the finish. GREAT ESCAPE (2) has been in the market at his last couple of runs but failed to threaten, the latest effort a modest fifth at Churchill Downs (Dirt) over 1710m. Can sneak into the finish.
