Emerald Downs Race 7 - Race 7 - Starter Allowance
BABY WAYLON (1) has scored at his last two starts, most recently by 0.3 lengths over 1609m at Turf Paradise Turf (Turf) as favourite. That continued the very strong form this campaign, with two wins from three starts. Sure to go well again. NO ORDINARY TIGER (3) showed good early pace last time and battled on gamely to finish just half a length from the winner in second over 1609m at Turf Paradise Turf (Turf). Faces an easier assignment so he is sure to be right there at the finish. BACKGROUND (2) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race and finished 5.5 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1673m at Fairgrounds. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. I'M NOBLE (5) was a placegetter on dirt over 1609m at Turf Paradise two back but missed the frame on turf over 1609m at Turf Paradise Turf last time. Has sound form at this track and distance with a win and five minor placings from eight runs. Don't underestimate.
