Emerald Downs Race 2 - Race 2 - Claiming

VERDI (4) proved too strong two runs ago at Turf Paradise Turf. Safely held last time out when sixth over 1609m at Turf Paradise Turf, beaten 7 lengths. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. KYALAM (3) resumes. Wasn't far away at last run before a break, finishing fourth over 1710m in stakes class at Hastings Racecourse ten months ago. Lines up today for the first time for trainer Mark Cloutier. Has ability and should be right in the finish. HACKSAW MOUNTAIN (2) is a three-year-old gelding who is having his first run for the Jose Navarro yard. Finished off last campaign with a eighth at Turf Paradise (Dirt) ten weeks ago. Not seen at the trials but is in a nice race. Definite winning chance. DA SMOKE (1) was last at the races when he finished fifth over 1207m at this track (Dirt) on June 15. Sure to make his presence felt.
