Emerald Downs Race 3 - Race 3 - Claiming

LIGHT THE BEAM (2) scored two back at this track (Dirt) but was below his best last time when fifth over 1673m at this track (Dirt). Tackling a more suitable race this time so he is a major player. PISTOL POWER (5) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish 8 lengths away in third over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he is good enough to play a major role. BOURBON DANCER (7) proved too strong last start and scored by 2.5 lengths over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Has started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Strong winning hope again. BERT'S PROSPECT (3) proved too strong two runs ago but couldn't follow that up last time out when sixth over 1609m at this track, beaten 15 lengths. Finds a suitable race and can run a bold race.
