Emerald Downs Race 4 - Race 4 - Claiming

BAK TO LIBERTY (2) was safely held when eighth last time out over 1811m at this track, beaten 17 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Likely improver with strong prospects. LIGHT THE BEAM (7) is a distance specialist who improved sharply on his fifth two starts back at this track (Dirt) with success as favourite over 1673m at this track (Dirt) three weeks ago, getting home by half a length after being in the firing line on the turn. Finds a suitable race and can build on that solid recent effort. PRINCE OF MEMPHIS (5) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by half a length over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. UPRIGHT (1) led throughout last start to score an effortless 5 lengths win over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Winning rider S R Amador sticks. Deserves respect.

At the latest run ran second last of 9 at this track on August 16 over 1811m, 17 len behind Creative Om carrying 56.5kg at $12.72. The race before that won by 4 len at this track on July 24 over 1673m defeating Jullian In Paris carrying 55.5kg at $11.30. Can atone for a modest effort last time.

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. Resuming ran second last in a small field at this track on July 26 over 1609m, 11 len behind Background carrying 55.5kg at $10.18. Second run from a spell 3rd in a small field at this track on August 15 over 1609m, 0.8 len behind El Joy carrying 55.5kg at $7.89. Not far from the winner last time but this is a tough assignment.

Last start ran second last of 7 at this track on August 15 over 1609m, 10 len behind I'm Noble with 55.5kg at $13.99. The race before that got back early ran second last in a small field at this track on August 2 over 1308m, 2.25 len behind Good Focus with 55.5kg at $11.15. Easily accounted for last start but is capable of better.

Form hard to fault. Most recently came from midfield and won by 0.5 len at this track on August 22 over 1609m defeating Fruit Lutes with 55.5kg at $5.06. The race before that 3rd in a small field at this track on August 9 over 1207m, 1.5 len behind Fortyshadesoftiger carrying 56.5kg at $2.74. Should be right in the finish.
