Emerald Downs Race 2 - Race 2 - Claiming
DIXIE'S DELIGHT (6) last appeared three weeks ago over 1207m at this track when she finished third. This is her first run for the Charles Essex stable. Looks set to run well for the new barn. SLIPPERY SILK (4) was an impressive maiden winner last time out, scoring by 1.3 lengths over 1006m at this track (Dirt). Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Shaping up nicely and she is right in the mix again. QUICK OMEN (3) is yet to fill a placing in two runs since resuming from a spell, the latest when fifth over 1106m at this track (Dirt) after she travelled towards the rear of the field. Has further improvement to come and is among the leading chances. HOT BETTY (2) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing sixth at this track (Dirt) over 1609m. Likely improver with strong prospects.

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. First-up 4th in a small field at this track on June 14 over 1207m, 4.5 len behind Coconut Dreams with 56kg at $12.11. Second-up ran last in a small field at this track on July 11 over 1609m, 14 len behind Janey carrying 56kg at $8.85. Can do a lot better than that last run.
