Emerald Downs Race 2 - Race 2 - Claiming

BABY WAYLON (3) lifted strongly to score two back then was prominent in the run last time before finishing second over 1308m at this track (Dirt). Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Likely to feature. TOUGHERTHANTHEREST (2) was well fancied when resuming last start and proved too strong, scoring by one length over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Fitter for that last hitout and is expected to feature in the finish. BARRISTER PROOF (5) showed good early speed and raced on the pace last start before fading to finish fourth, beaten 7 lengths, over 1308m at this track (Dirt). Among the chances. SPECTACULAR TIGER (4) is a five-year-old gelding who is having his first run for the Steve Fisher yard. Finished off last campaign with a eighth at Turf Paradise Turf (Turf) four months ago. Hasn't trialled publicly but looks nicely placed. Not to be underestimated.

Second run back. First-up after four months won by 1.0 len at this track June 28 over 1106m defeating Rhodium Runner with 55.5kg at $1.63. Previously second-up 5th of 8 at this track in LR on June 22 2025 over 1207m, 3.5 len behind Clovisconnection carrying 55kg at $28.25. Strips fitter and is an excellent winning chance.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run 2nd in a small field at this track on June 27 over 1308m, 3.5 len behind Goin' South carrying 56.5kg at $3.79. Before that raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 0.5 len at this track June 5 over 1106m in the wet defeating Counteract carrying 56.5kg at $1.66. Meets a small field and looks tough to beat.

Recent form sound. At the latest run ran second last in a small field at this track on June 27 over 1308m, 7 len behind Goin' South with 55.5kg at $6.79. The start before that ran on from midfield and won by 2.75 len at this track June 5 over 1207m in heavy going defeating Hawker carrying 56.5kg at $11.45. Can do much better.
