Emerald Downs Race 1 - Race 1 - Claiming

EL JOY (3) showed good early dash and raced on the speed last start before fading to finish 7 lengths back in fourth over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Will be handy in the run and should prove hard to run down. DRIVE TRAIN (6) did a great job to score by 0.8 lengths over today's course and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is one of the key runners. BERT'S PROSPECT (5) turned things around last start and landed the prize by 0.8 lengths after being in the firing line on the bend as favourite over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Worth noting Kevin Krigger goes aboard. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role again. YOU'RE THE CAUSE (2) has not won for a long while. Last raced on July 5 when beaten 10 lengths into ninth at this track (Dirt) over 1609m. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is good enough to take this out.
