Emerald Downs Race 5 - Race 5 - Maiden Special Weight

LEAD THE CHARGE (3) sets the standard after a narrow 2nd at Emerald Downs over 1106m last start, beaten 0.3L when leading throughout. CROSSBONE (2) is a key chance off his Turf Paradise 1308m 2nd two back and wasn’t far off the minors when 4th here over 1106m. LOVE DA GIG (1) has three recent runner-up efforts, including 2nd at Turf Paradise over 1006m last time, and draws the rail. VINO VIKING (4) resumes and was 2nd in a 1674m Stakes here at his latest run, while STAR TRAVEL (6) returns with back-to-back 1207m placings here last season and can be prominent early.
