Emerald Downs Race 4 - Race 4 - Mdn Special Weight
NATIVE EMPRESS (8) brings the best recent figure after a 2nd at Emerald Downs over 1106m on 16 May, closing from midfield and beaten 1.75L, and sets the standard. MOCKTAILS ANYONE (5) is a perennial runner-up with five straight 2nds, including at this trip here on 2 May, and looks the main danger. LITTLE MINNIE MO (3) resumed last August with a 2nd over 1106m here, while EMPIRICAL (2) has three Emerald Downs 2nds on the card and was narrowly beaten 0.3L over 1207m last July; both are solid hopes. MAGIC JEWEL (7) and DESIGNATED RUNNER (9) come through the same recent race but finished well back, placing the focus on Native Empress, Mocktails Anyone, Little Minnie Mo, and Empirical.
