Emerald Downs Race 6 - Race 6 - Claiming

ELEGANT BOY (3) fought on for third last start over 1308m at this track (Dirt), making it two minor placings in a row. Sits handy in the run. Beautifully placed and is sure to be there at the finish. BACKGROUND (2) was far from disgraced when fourth last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 1.3 lengths. That followed a win at this track the start prior. Meets a stronger field but he is good enough. DIRT ROAD RED (1) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 3 lengths into fourth. The engagement of Alex M Cruz is a positive move. Nicely placed to take this out. I'M NOBLE (5) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing fourth at this track (Dirt) over 1609m. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time.
