Emerald Downs Race 7 - Race 7 - Claiming

MAXIMUM SPARKLE (6) returns from a spell of three-and-a-half months and is having her first run for a new yard. Finished sixth at Turf Paradise (Dirt) over 1207m when first-up last time in work. Leading contender. ABOVE THE ORDINARY (3) was an impressive maiden winner last time out, scoring by 3 lengths over 1308m at Turf Paradise (Dirt). Shaping up nicely and she is a solid top-three hope. KIR ROYALE (4) returns after a spell of eight months. Looking to emulate her win at this track to kick off the last campaign. Worth plenty of thought. FLASH THAT SMILE (5) is a progressive six-year-old mare who resumes from a break of three-and-a-half months, her last appearance being a win over 1207m at Turf Paradise (Dirt) at her only run of that campaign. Has won when fresh from a spell in the past. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Sure to be thereabouts.
