Emerald Downs Race 4

Allowance

Prize Money: $33,520

HE'S NOT TALKING (5) returns after a spell of nine months. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1106m at this track. Capable of playing a major role. NOW CATO (2) was a dominant winner last time over 1006m at Turf Paradise Turf (Turf), getting home by 2.75 lengths. Has been in sound form this prep with a win and a placing from four starts. Should be hard to stop. ATMOSPHERIC RIVER (1) is back from a spell of ten weeks. Closed last campaign with a minor placing over 1308m at Turf Paradise (Dirt). Can make his presence felt. KNIGHTLINE (4) resumes today after filling a minor placing at his last appearance at Turf Paradise (Dirt) over 1308m on April 17 2025. Among the better hopes.

Racing well recently. Comes here off a 31-day let-up. Most recently won by 2.75 len at Turf Paradise Turf April 22 over 1006m defeating Love Da Gig with 54.5kg at $7.70. Before that 4th of 10 at Turf Paradise on April 9 over 1308m, 6 len behind Dutton's Song with 55kg at $19.40. Big chance again now that the penny has dropped.

Expected Settling Position: Off Midfield
