Emerald Downs Race 8 - Race 8 - Claiming

FORTYSHADESOFTIGER (3) finds it hard to win but left a good impression last time out when beaten 0.3 lengths into second over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Commendable record at this trip with a win and three minor placings and should prove tough to beat. CHANCES TAKEN (1) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1207m at this track. Looks well placed so expect another big run. DRIVE TRAIN (6) made progress last start when he made late ground to finish third over 1609m at this track after being in contention on the turn. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role. CAUSE FOR DIVORCE (8) won at this track (Dirt) two starts ago but was below his best at a more recent appearance, finishing fifth over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Finds a nice race and can bounce back.
