Emerald Downs Race 8 - Race 8 - Maiden Claiming
CIRCLE OF FIRE (3) brings the best recent figures, having run 2nd at Turf Paradise over 1106m, beaten 1.3L on 24 Mar, and should find this easier after a small-field 4th here last time. DENADA (7) is a key chance with three straight placings, including 3rd in that same 1106m Turf Paradise race and a narrow 2nd over 905m prior. MY ELIANA (5) wasn’t far away when 4th over 905m at Los Alamitos last start and steps to 1106m. CON LECHE (6) showed pace when 4th over 1207m at Turf Paradise and can be in the mix back in trip.
