Emerald Downs Race 4 - Race 4 - Claiming

SEAS OF NORMANDY (1) looks close to a win, finishing in the placings at his last couple of runs including a third most recently over 1609m at Turf Paradise Turf (Turf) when beaten one length. Today might be his day. AFJAN (4) made it two wins on the bounce last time out when he scored by 1.3 lengths over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Winning rider Karlo Lopez retains the mount. Finds a tougher race but another win is not out of the question. THE BLACK STRAT (5) met with solid support last time out but could only manage to finish fifth over 1673m at this track (Dirt) in a disappointing performance. Finds a nice race and can make amends. BACKGROUND (2) is close to breaking through, last start finishing just 0.1 lengths away in second over 1673m at this track (Dirt). Best figures measure up. Sure to run well.
