Emerald Downs Race 8 - Race 8 - Claiming

GOOD FOCUS (7) has strung together a couple of wins at this track, the latest on July 12 over 1207m when he scored by 1.75 lengths. This looks a sterner test than last time but on current form he is right in contention. TOUGHERTHANTHEREST (6) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish 4 lengths away in third over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. GOIN' SOUTH (2) scored two back at this track (Dirt) but was below his best last time when eighth over 1308m at this track (Dirt). S R Amador gets the best out of this four-year-old gelding. Finds the right race this time and can find winning form. SMILING GOODBYE (4) raced on the speed last start and battled on well but found one better over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Will give backers a great run for their money.
