Emerald Downs Race 8

Allowance Optional Claiming

Stake: $41,990

ELDER MACK (5) Looked good when 3rd last start at the track and back to a rise in trip. Blaine D Wright stable are running hot lately. Can win this. OWHATARUSH (3) Average at best when 6th last run at this track but ideal distance as proven previously. Should come to hand quickly. Going back up in distance. Has the ability to figure. ELEGANT BOY (1) First up from a break. Finished with purpose when winning last time at Turf Paradise and hard to fault at this distance. Should get going late. Gets a favourable barrier. Key player. BEARINGS (2) Good performance to run into 2nd last time at Sunland Park and has a positive barrier. Alex M Cruz and Justin R Evans are a formidable team. Worth a look and is a rough hope.
