Emerald Downs Race 8 - Race 8 - Claiming

UPSTART YANKEE (1) finished fifth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1609m at this track, beaten 2.5 lengths after being prominent at the bend. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. PROWLING CAT (4) gave a bold display over this course and distance last start, racing on the speed and boxing on well to finish third and beaten 3 lengths. Ready to go a couple better. DEKUDYLAN (2) made progress last time out, finishing 3.5 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1609m at this track after being prominent at the corner. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. TEX HANLEY (7) has not won for a long while. Last raced on July 25 when beaten 13 lengths into fourth at this track (Dirt) over 1609m. Likely improver with strong prospects.
