Emerald Downs Race 7

Claiming

Stake: -

UNION COACH (2) Amongst the placegetters when 2nd beaten by 2 1/4L last run at this venue and competing at a lower grade. Will try to take advantage of the draw. Hard to dismiss. SOLO UN BESO (3) Clearly outclassed when 6th last time at this venue. Expecting improvement and taking on easier opposition. No surprise to see a forward showing and one of the main hopes in this race. GINGER IN CHARGE (5) Was well beaten when 5th last start at Turf Paradise. Can show a better performance this time and has been racing in stronger company. Change in trainer. Underrated. SHANGHAI BARBIE (4) Average performance when 6th last time at the track but up against weaker rivals. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Honest and strong place bet in this race.

Fairly underwhelming when 8th last time at Turf Paradise but up against a less competitive field. Jockey Silvio Ruiz Amador and trainer Kendra S Lyons are a proven combination. Sharp improvement needed.

Good effort to place 2nd beaten by 2 1/4L last run here and competing in a lower grade. Gets a favourable stall. Will go close today.

Jumped at $14.00 and not up to scratch when 6th last time around here but competing in a less challenging grade. Will be pushing for a forward position early. This will pose a challenge.

Was $4.33 and looked outclassed when 5th last start at Turf Paradise. Can show a better performance this time and goes down in grade. First race for a new trainer. Gets a chance against these.

Caught the eye when 3rd last time at this venue and stepping down to a lower level. Has a great burst of speed late. Back to a shorter trip. Unfortunately, it seems unlikely.
