Emerald Downs Race 6 - Race 6 - Mdn Special Weight

MOCKTAILS ANYONE (8) is back at the races for the first time since June 27. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1106m at this track. Yet to win first up but generally runs well with three minor placings from four tries. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. SHAUGHNESSY (5) was well supported on debut last start and turned in a strong effort to finish second over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Sure to improve and can get off the mark this time. DA BEL FIORE (6) ran well on debut last start to finish second over 1207m at this track (Dirt) in a tougher race. Has plenty of upside so another top-three finish is on the cards. MELIDOUS SONNET (2) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at this track (Dirt) over 1207m. Nicely placed to take this out.

Form hard to fault. Last start 3rd in a small field at this track on August 15 over 1207m, 7 len behind Magic Jewel with 56.5kg at $10.96. The run before that 3rd in a small field at this track on July 25 over 1207m, 5.5 len behind Pearl Essence carrying 56.5kg at $13.50. Rates highly and is among the main hopes.

Raced twice to date. At debut, ran last in a small field at this track on July 25 over 1207m, 7 len behind Pearl Essence with 52.5kg at $9.15. Second-up 4th in a small field at this track on August 15 over 1207m, 8 len behind Magic Jewel carrying 55kg at $14.44. Happy enough to avoid.

Mare back from a spell of nine weeks. Has placed previously first up from a break. Finished off last campaign third of 7 at this track June 27 over 1207m, 5 len behind Samarolu with 56.5kg at $1.63. When resuming last campaign second in a small field at this track May 2 over 1106m, 7 len behind Southern Anton with 56.5kg at $3.21. Likely to play a major role.
