Emerald Downs Race 3 - Race 3 - Claiming

BENNY BUCKETS (4) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when a nose away in second over 1609m at this track (Dirt) when he was prominent throughout. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. BOURBON DANCER (5) changes rider since being well held last time in seventh over 1609m at Turf Paradise Turf (Turf) on April 15. Capable of a lot more. JULLIAN IN PARIS (3) found the line strongly last time when third over 1308m at this track (Dirt). Extra journey a plus and rates among the leading chances. COASTAL WATERS (2) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a eighth over 1609m at Turf Paradise Turf (Turf) after he was well back on straightening. Likely improver who should be competitive.
