Emerald Downs Race 5 - Race 5 - Claiming
SIR ARGENTO (8) made it four minor placings in a row last start when second over 1207m at this track (Dirt) after being in the firing line all the way. Should race just off the speed despite the wide draw. Has the talent to build on that encouraging effort last start. COASTAL JOURNEY (4) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at this track (Dirt) over 1207m after being prominent from the outset. Well placed this line-up and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. SOLO GANO (6) is a four-year-old entire who is having his first run for the Jack Mccartney stable. Resumes after finishing fifth at Santa Anita (Dirt) at his last run seven months ago. Hasn't trialled publicly but goes well fresh from a spell, filling a placing two times from three runs. Bold showing expected. COUNT DALIA (5) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1207m at this track, beaten 6 lengths into fourth. No surprise to see him in contention.

At the latest run ran last of 8 at this track on August 22 over 1207m, 29 len behind Stratojet with 55.5kg at $32.11. The race before that 2nd in a small field at Tillamook County Fair on August 7 over 1006m, 2 len behind Big Bowie with 57kg at $2. Form doesn't read well but he is a genuine contender.

Better than that recent plain performance suggests.
