Emerald Downs Race 10 - Race 10 - Claiming

TOUGHERTHANTHEREST (7) really dug deep to get the prize by one length three runs back at this track (Dirt) before filling a minor placing at his last two starts. Has a solid record at this circuit. Bold showing expected. ELEGANT BOY (1) ran well below his best last time over 1609m at this track (Dirt), beaten 2.25 lengths into fourth at $3.61. Last run worth forgiving. Can atone. GOLDEN RIVER (3) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest at this track over 1207m. Is a winner at this circuit. Expected to run well. WOOD CEILING (6) has been in the market at his last couple of starts but hasn't made an impression, last start finishing fifth over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Well-placed and can sneak into the finish. Something for the Multiples: FANTASTIC DAY (5)

Comes off a 30 day let-up. Last start got back early 3rd in a small field at this track on July 31 over 1106m, 5.5 len behind Bluegrass Go Go carrying 55.5kg at $6.52. Before that eased back early on 3rd in a small field at this track on July 18 over 1207m, 3 len behind West Coast Bull with 55.5kg at $3.12. Doesn't profile as a likely winner.
