Emerald Downs Race 7 - Race 7 - Allowance Optional Claiming
CANDY CABALLO (3) resumed three weeks ago over 1106m at this track and was only beaten 1.5 lengths into sixth after being in the firing line on the bend. Has never missed the frame second up. Fitter this time. Hard to beat in this suitable race. TAX CODE (6) scored by 1.5 lengths when resuming last start at this track (Dirt) over 1106m after he was prominent at the corner. Is yet to miss the frame from six starts at this distance, including three wins. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Likely to feature. VERITAS AEQUITAS (2) resumed over 1106m at this track (Dirt) last time out and finished second, beaten 3 lengths. Overall record is sound when second-up and should be better for that first-up run. Among the leading chances. WHISKEYJACK (5) was always well back last start at the first run of this campaign and never threatened, lost rider over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Is a winner at this circuit. Solid claims on best form.
