Emerald Downs Race 9 - Race 9 - Starter Allowance

NEPHELE (3) showed good pace over 1609m at this track (Dirt) last time and went on to score by one length. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. BANGIE GO (4) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing second last time out over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. C'S LILLY DANCER (1) last appeared when she finished third over 1609m in Listed grade at Turf Paradise Turf (Turf) on March 21. Among the better hopes. UNBRIDLED SCHOLAR (5) is back from a spell of nine weeks. Closed last campaign with a minor placing over 1609m at Santa Anita (Dirt). Makes plenty of appeal.

Resuming after four-and-a-half months in the paddock. Finished off last preparation third in a small field at Turf Paradise Turf in the LR March 21 over 1609m, 1.5 len behind Dontgiveupthefight carrying 54.5kg at $22.80. Previously first up; failed to finish at Turf Paradise Turf February 28 over 1609m. Could prove too smart for these.

Racing well recently. At the latest run got back early 3rd in a small field at this track on July 12 over 1609m, 2.5 len behind Nephele with 56.5kg at $5.92. The run before that came from midfield and won by a 0.3 len at this track June 28 over 1609m defeating Nephele with 55.5kg at $18.42. Definite winning chance. Keep safe.
