Emerald Downs Race 3 - Race 3 - Claiming

CREATIVE UNION (5) did a great job to score by 4 lengths over this course and distance last start in a much improved run. Likely to be there at the finish again. FORTYSHADESOFTIGER (4) showed little early speed last start and failed to come on in the straight when fourth, beaten 10 lengths, over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. LUCKY CODE (1) turned in a nice run last time to finish third over 1609m at this track after being in contention on the bend. Looks well placed so expect another big run. BLUEGRASS LENT (2) finished fourth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1609m at this track, beaten 4 lengths. Best efforts measure up so capable of another big run.

Racing well recently. Most recently 2nd in a small field at this track on July 18 over 1609m, 4 len behind Creative Union carrying 55.5kg at $4.12. Before that ran second last in a small field at this track on June 26 over 1207m, 4.5 len behind West Coast Bull with 56.5kg at $5.79. Small field and is not to be underestimated.

Second run back. First-up after a year ran last in a small field at this track on July 12 over 1609m, 17 len behind Afjan carrying 55.5kg at $16.08. Previously second-up came from midfield; 2nd of 7 at Oaklawn Park on February 3 2025 over 1710m, 2.5 len behind Tis Charming carrying 56.5kg at $33.10. Likely improver.
