Emerald Downs Race 3 - Race 3 - Maiden Claiming
FLY FARTHER (1) led and just failed to hang on last start over 1609m at Turf Paradise Turf (Turf) to make it two minor placings from three runs this preparation. Bold showing expected with the blinkers added. DIXIE'S DELIGHT (3) is back after a break of four-and-a-half months. At the last run before the layoff she finished fourth over 1006m at Los Alamitos (Dirt). Bold showing expected. SOUTHERN ANTON (4) resumes from a spell of six months. Looked close to a win before that break, finishing off with a minor placing over 1106m at Del Mar (Dirt). Rates highly and is a chance to break through. CIRCLE OF FIRE (2) ran below expectations last start, finishing seventh and beaten 8 lengths at Turf Paradise (Dirt) over 1308m. Suitably placed so expecting a better run this time.

Last start 7th of 9 at Turf Paradise on April 13 over 1308m, 8 len behind Above The Ordinary with 57kg at $5.30. The run before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 9 at Turf Paradise on March 24 over 1106m, 1.3 len behind Hazael carrying 57kg at $3.30. Better than that recent lacklustre performance suggests.
