Emerald Race 1 - Pirtek Emerald Mdn Plate
ANTHROPOLOGY (5) looks hard to beat on what she showed on debut. Was strongly supported at Mackay and after drifting back found the line well for fourth. Has upside and this easier. Expected to run well. SCARLET HAZE (11) is a former NSW galloper who had one run in Newcastle when showed speed and weakened late. Makes returns for a new yard and will find this easier. Blinkers added and expected to give a sight. RED ENVELOPE (9) is fitter for two runs back and hasn't been far away at each, both at Mackay. Well placed this line-up and looks a nice race to get on the board. BADLIFEDECISION (6) was safely held fresh at Mackay but has since won a trial by a space. Expecting a better run this time. SO FORMIDABLE (10) hasn't been far away in similar races and is among the chances.

On debut. Three-year-old gelding by Ole Kirk out of Chequered Love. At the most recent trial was out of the placings over 1000m at Beaumont (Newcastle) July 9. Trial form has been pretty ordinary and inclined to let him go around in this.
