(5)  Shesayshello | | | | | 2 | Allyssa Morales | Tena Birdwell | Won on her latest outing when 14-5fav at Emerald Downs over 5f last month, beating Rockyscents by 1 1/4l. Gained her reward for some consistent efforts with that success and ought to prove popular. |
1st (9)  Colonel Ludlow | | | | | 2 | Manuel Americano | Justin Evans | Half-brother to Suspended Campaign, won seven times at 7f and 1m. A winner at 19-10 at Emerald Downs over 5f on his latest outing last month, beating G Dawg by 2 1/2l. Landed a lesser event that day and this test demands more. |
(6)  Checkered Flag | | | | | 2 | Kevin Orozco | Blaine Wright | Won on his latest outing when 6-4fav at Emerald Downs over 5f earlier this month, beating Goin' South by a short head. Off the mark at the second attempt and dangerous to dismiss. |
(7)  Thirsty Vision | | | | | 2 | Luis Reyes | Jorge Rosales | Won on his latest outing when 2-1fav at Santa Rosa over 5f last month, beating Accidental Genius by a short head. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Jesus Ramos, and merits respect. |
(11)  Nijinsky Halo | | | | | 2 | Alex Cruz | Wendell McDaniel | Won on his latest outing when 4-5fav at Sacramento over 5f in July, beating It's A Factor by 5l. Always appeared in command there and lots to like about his chance. |
(3)  Border Vigil | | | | | 2 | Karlo Lopez | Justin Evans | Won on his latest outing when 11-5jt-fav at Emerald Downs over 5f in July, beating The Lair by 1 1/4l. No doubting the impressive nature of that success and boasts obvious claims. |
(12)  Big Bowie | | | | | 2 | Isaias Enriquez | Frank Lucarelli | Successful at 4f and 5f. Third of 8 behind He's Not Talking beaten 4l at 9-2 on his latest outing at Emerald Downs over 6f last month. Knocking at the door but may have to play a supporting role once again. |
2nd (2)  A Thousand Miles | | | | | 2 | Kevin Krigger | Justin Evans | A winner at 5f. Third of 6 behind Precise Timing beaten 3 1/2l at 33-10 on her latest outing at Emerald Downs over 6f last month. Lost nothing in defeat that day and one to consider. |
(10)  Impassable | | | | | 2 | Javier Matias | Howard Belvoir | Placed twice in three starts. Beaten 1/2l by He's Not Talking when second of 8 at 9-5fav on his latest outing at Emerald Downs over 6f last month. Yet to run a bad race but needs more if he is to shed the maiden tag in this company. |
(4)  He's Not Talking | | | | | 2 | Juan Gutierrez | Bonnie Jenne | A winner at 18-5 at Emerald Downs over 6f on his latest outing last month, beating Impassable by 1/2l. Had a couple of these behind there and a bold bid seems assured. |
3rd (1)  Candy Caballo | | | | | 2 | Leslie Mawing | Tom Wenzel | Half-brother to Evey's Candy, won twice at 5f. A winner at 13-1 at Emerald Downs over 5f on his latest outing last month, beating He's Not Talking by a head. Shed the maiden tag with a determined success and could have more to offer. |
4th (8)  Si That Tiger | | | | | 2 | Silvio Amador | Blaine Wright | Successful at 5f and 6f. Won on his latest outing when 7-5fav at Emerald Downs over 6f last month, beating Impassable by 6l. Won his last two starts in impressive fashion and could prove difficult to beat. |
SI THAT TIGER sauntered clear to score by nearly six lengths over an extended 6f here last month and he is difficult to oppose after such a dominant performance. He's Not Talking had Impassable behind in second when landing a similar event to this over 6f here last time and they look the obvious pair to concentrate on for minor honours.
Race 2: 01:52 +1d Emerald Downs Race 10 - Allowance Optional Claiming
(8)  Knockout Guy | | | | | 4 | Silvio Amador | Johnathon Feron | Placed in eight of 40 starts. Beaten 9l behind Public Appearance at 10-1 when last of 7 on his latest outing at Emerald Downs over 1m last month. Would be a surprise were he to prevail. |

Finished 3 1/2l behind Elder Mack when fourth of 5 at 13-1 on his latest outing at Emerald Downs over 1m earlier this month. Behind a few of these on his last two starts and needs more for win purposes. |
(2)  El Alto Hombre | | | | | 9 | Leslie Mawing | Liz Kowalski | Has won 17 races from 5f to 7f. Third of 4 behind Arma D'oro beaten 13l at 17-2 on his latest outing at Emerald Downs over 1m earlier this month. May have to settle for minor honours. |
(3)  El Bromista | | | | | 4 | Karlo Lopez | Blaine Wright | A winner at 5f. Beaten 6l by Gunnin For Gold when second of 6 at 11-4 on his latest outing at Emerald Downs over 6f last month. A reproduction of that effort could suffice. |
4th (1)  Fantastic Day | | | | | 7 | Alex Cruz | Jorge Rosales | Has won 11 races at 6f. Third of 5 behind Elder Mack beaten 2 1/4l at 5-1 on his latest outing at Emerald Downs over 1m earlier this month. Invariably runs his race at this venue and one to consider. |
(7)  Jin Tong | | | | | 4 | Carlos Montalvo | Joe Toye | Successful at 5f and 6f. Beaten a head by Elder Mack when second of 5 at 9-20fav on his latest outing at Emerald Downs over 1m earlier this month. Finished runner-up on his last four starts and deserves a change in fortune. |
3rd (6)  Surprsinglyperfect | | | | | 10 | Kevin Krigger | Justin Evans | Has won 20 races from 7f to 1m 6f. Beaten 16l behind Five Star General at 45-1 when eighth of 11 on his latest outing at Emerald Downs over 1m last month. Won four of his last six and will find this easier than his latest assignment. |
2nd (9)  Executive Chef | | | | | 5 | Juan Gutierrez | Blaine Wright | Winner of seven races from 5f to 1m. A winner at 11-2 at Emerald Downs over 6f on his latest outing last month, beating Jin Tong by a neck. Completed a double in tenacious fashion there and boasts obvious claims. |
1st (4)  Giant Game | | | | | 5 | Luis Reyes | Justin Evans | He has won three times from 1m to 1m 1f. Beaten 17l behind Five Star General at 18-1 when 9th of 11 on his latest outing at Emerald Downs over 1m last month. Hopes rest on the drop in grade working the oracle. |
Surprsinglyperfect has won four of his last six starts and will find this easier than his last assignment, while Jin Tong deserves a change in fortune after finishing runner-up on his last four starts. However, EXECUTIVE CHEF highlighted his resolution to record a determined success over an extended 6f here last month and is marginally preferred.
Race 3: 02:19 +1d Emerald Downs Race 11 - Claiming
(1)  Stephen James | | | | | 6 | Kevin Orozco | Mary Pirone | Winner of six races from 6f to 1m. Finished 10l behind dead-heaters Corn Pop and Ain't No Sissy when last of 5 at 6-1 on his latest outing at Emerald Downs over 6f earlier this month. Drops in grade and dangerous to dismiss. |
(5)  Westphal | | | | | 5 | Manuel Americano | Joe Toye | He has won three times from 6f to 1m. Finished 12l behind Happy Does when last of 6 at 6-1 on his latest outing at Emerald Downs over 1m earlier this month. Posted a lacklustre effort that day and needs to bounce back. |
4th (3)  J T's Watch | | | | | 6 | Karlo Lopez | Wendell McDaniel | Has won eight races at 1m. Finished 6l behind Wellswort when fourth of 6 at 7-1 on his latest outing at Santa Rosa over 1m (good) last month. Difficult to fault his consistency and enters calculations. |
2nd (6)  Langston Road | | | | | 4 | Silvio Amador | Blaine Wright | He has won three times from 5f to 1m. Well beaten at 4-1 behind Creative Bid when last of 5 on his latest outing at Emerald Downs over 1m last month. Drops significantly in grade and it will be disappointing if he failed to make his presence felt. |
3rd (7)  Clayton Delaney | | | | | 7 | Alex Cruz | Shelly Crowe | He has won four times from 5f to 1m 1f, but last win was over two years ago. Third of 6 behind Happy Does beaten 1l at 17-2 on his latest outing at Emerald Downs over 1m earlier this month. Reached the frame on his last five starts and could be ready to strike. |
(4)  Winter Falcon | | | | | 5 | Luis Reyes | Justin Evans | Winner of five races from 5f to 1m. Beaten a neck by Happy Does when second of 6 at 13-10fav on his latest outing at Emerald Downs over 1m earlier this month. A reproduction of that effort could suffice. |
1st (2)  Kaline | | | | | 7 | Kevin Krigger | Justin Evans | Has won eight races from 7f to 1m. Finished 9l behind Dennard when fourth of 6 at 6-5fav on his latest outing at Emerald Downs over 6f last month. Landed a similar event to this on his penultimate start and ought to be thereabouts. |
Better can be expected from Langston Road down in grade, while Clayton Delaney has reached the frame on his last five starts and can mount another bold bid. However, WINTER FALCON lost out by just a neck when runner-up over a similar distance here earlier this month and he looks capable of going one better.
