Emerald Downs Race 8 - Auburn S. Stakes
OLE'S SURPRISE (5) Tidy effort when 2nd last start at this venue and showing consistent performance in races. Should jump out and bowl along. Have to respect the recent stable form. Genuine winning chance. CROSSBONE (3) Ran over the top of them when winning last time around here and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Adrian Castellanos is in good form for this stable. No surprise to see a forward showing and one of the main hopes in this race. ROBIN RACER (7) Rounded them up to win last run at the track and good career start. Jockey Carlos Montalvo and trainer Tom Wenzel form a proven partnership. Competing in a higher grade. Right in this. BLACKBERRY JAM (6) First up from a break of 44 weeks and even though being overrun still placed 2nd first up last preparation at the track. Should be going forward early. Could win with the right run.

Couldn't keep the momentum going throughout when 3rd beaten by 1L last time at the track and putting a tidy record together so far. Should race on the speed. Can run into the placings.

Romped home to win last time here and good career start. Jockey Adrian Castellanos and trainer Howard F Gibson are usually competitive together. Definitely worth considering.

Was $23.00 and weakened under pressure when 5th last time here but back in an easier grade. Have to respect the recent Jorge Rosales form. This one has a big task.

Tidy effort when 2nd last start around here and solid career start. Displays good tactical speed. Mark Cloutier stable are on fire recently but testing ability against stronger contenders. Has definite claims.

First up from a break of 44 weeks and put together a strong on-speed performance when 2nd first up last preparation at this track. Likely to be well placed early. Very capable of taking this out.

Picked up nicely to win last run around here and putting a tidy record together. Jockey Carlos Montalvo and trainer Tom Wenzel have a high strike rate together. Reasonable chance.
