Emerald Downs Race 7 - Race 7 - Maiden Claiming
MO GREY (1) sets the standard after a pair of 2nds at Turf Paradise over 1106m, the latest beaten 1L, and maps to hold a handy spot from the rail. FLIGHT RYDER (6) brings recent Emerald Downs fitness with a 4th of 6 over 1106m two weeks ago and can improve back to 1207m. RISE UP AND GO (5) has a 1207m placing at Grants Pass and was 4th here over 1106m last year, making him a credible threat fresh. HIGHER PERFORMANCE (2) drops from maiden special weight company and could be sharper at this shorter trip.

Second-up run was a tough 6th of 8 at Will Rogers Downs over 1609m on 23 Mar, beaten 21.3L at $34 after racing handy early. Debut there on 2 Mar over 1106m produced 5th of 7, beaten 8.3L at $6.50, making late ground from the rear. Drops 402m in trip and carries 55.5kg, now with Alex M. Cruz for trainer Jorge Rosales, and adds blinkers. Needs sharp improvement but can progress with the gear change.
