Emerald Downs Race 7

Allowance Optional Claiming

Prize Money: $34,916

CANTCATCHTHISCAT (6) brings strong stakes credentials, having won at Emerald Downs over 1308m before a solid 4th at Turf Paradise over 1207m, and looks the one to beat back to 1106m. OLE'S SURPRISE (2) was a last‑start winner at Emerald Downs over 1106m, sitting handy throughout and scoring by 0.3L, and is a key chance. ROBIN RACER (4) claimed a 1674m Emerald Downs stakes last September and can feature dropping back in trip. BLACKBERRY JAM (5) won the Emerald Downs 1106m stakes two starts ago and is in the mix if reproducing that effort. CHASE (3) bolted in by 7.8L at 1006m here and steps up in distance with fitness on side.
