Emerald Downs Race 5 - Race 5 - Maiden Special Weight
WHISKEYTHENWINE (2) raced on the speed from the outset when resuming last start and finished second, beaten 1.3 lengths, over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Placed to advantage so expect a big run. APPRECIATE TODAY (9) is fresh from a spell of 15 months and did hit the frame when last resuming at Santa Anita (Dirt) over 1207m. In a different yard now. Rates highly so expect him to be prominent. VERDI (11) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1106m at this track, beaten 3 lengths. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. SIR ARGENTO (1) lines up for the first time since August 11. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1106m at this track. Has found the right race and is worth including.
