Emerald Downs Race 4 - Race 4 - Maiden Special Weight
ELDER MACK (1) looks close to a win after finishing in the money at both runs, the latest when second at this track (Dirt) over 1207m. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Will prove tough to beat. R BARRACUDA (2) has been racing in great heart with two top-three finishes on end, the latest a second over 1308m at this track (Dirt) when he was always up in the leading division. Finds a suitable race and can go on to take this out. SIR ARGENTO (5) is a four-start maiden who could only manage to finish fourth at his latest appearance over 1308m at this track (Dirt). Cannot be ruled out in this suitable assignment. DRIVE TRAIN (8) missed the placings when resuming two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1207m at this track, beaten 4.5 lengths. This looks a good race for him and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways.
