Ellis Park Race 2 - Race 2 - Mdn Claiming
CAN'T STOP WILLIS (3) has accrued two minor placings from three runs this campaign. Continued the trend at the most recent appearance when third over 1710m at Churchill Downs (Dirt) after he was in the firing line all the way. Has the talent to figure prominently. PROPS (2) is still a maiden after 12 starts. Could only manage to finish fourth last time out over 1207m at Churchill Downs (Dirt) following a minor placing at Keeneland (Dirt) over 1207m the run prior. Likely to play a major role. WHATEVER (5) was well supported last time over 1710m at Churchill Downs (Dirt) but could only manage third after being in the firing line on the bend. Strong claims on best figures. WOLFCAMP (11) is a four-start maiden who returned last time and finished eighth at Churchill Downs (Dirt) over 1207m, beaten 14 lengths. Should progress from that last outing and poses a genuine threat. Something for the Multiples: TURN AND RUN (8)

Resuming. Only had one start last preparation ran last of 8 at Oaklawn Park on April 23 over 1710m, 15 len behind Bayou Flyer carrying 55.5kg at $21.70. When resuming last campaign 9th of 11 at Kentucky on August 28 over 1609m, 18 len behind Turf Star carrying 54kg at $41.24. This looks too tough.
