Emerald Downs Race 8 - Race 8 - Claiming

ELDER MACK (7) recorded an all-the-way win last time out by one length over today's journey at this track (Dirt). Has a formidable combination with S R Amador who has been aboard for his last two wins. Among the leading chances. VERDI (5) turned in a eye-catching run over 1207m at this track (Dirt) last start when he got back but wound up hard to finish a close second. Rates highly and expected to go well. ELEGANT BOY (3) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 1308m at this track (Dirt). Has the pace to be thereabouts from the outset. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. SEAS OF NORMANDY (4) progressed nicely last time out to finish just one length from the winner in second over 1609m at this track. Likely to hold the form and is a strong top-three prospect.
