Emerald Downs Race 9 - Race 9 - Maiden Claiming

DADDY'S QUEST (6) finished third last time out over 1609m at this track (Dirt), making it three career minor placings. Has been in the top-three at all three runs at this circuit. Among the top chances. LUCKY'S SNIPER (5) is a six-start maiden who could only manage to finish sixth after being prominent at the bend at his latest appearance over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Likely to be in the finish in this suitable assignment. DOMINATE (1) finished sixth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1207m at this track, beaten 7 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn. Finds a suitable race and can find the winner's circle. SHINY ORB (4) turned in a moderate debut over 1106m at this track (Dirt) on August 8 when he was safely held in sixth, 12 lengths from the winner. Open to plenty of improvement. One of the hopes.
