Emerald Downs Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance Optional Claiming

LEAD THE CHARGE (5) raced on the speed last start and battled on well but found one better over 1308m at this track (Dirt). Winning rider S R Amador sticks. Likely to feature. SENOR TEQUILAS (7) found plenty to salute by half a length three runs back at this track (Dirt) before filling a minor placing at his last two starts. Drops back in grade. Top chance in this field. MIDNIGHT TIGER (2) went forward last start over 1308m at this track (Dirt) and held on well for third, beaten 5 lengths. In a suitable race and can figure in the finish. AL'S BIG BOY (1) ran a better race last start, finishing 4 lengths away in fourth over 1710m at this track. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.
