Emerald Downs Race 9 - Seattle S. Stakes
BEWITCHING JOY (1) Came on strongly when 2nd beaten by 3L last time at this track and lining up against easier rivals. Should be swooping on the field late. One of the major players. SUBTLE SHIMMER (4) Solid effort to run into 2nd last time at this venue but facing a stronger group of contenders. Jockey Adrian Castellanos and trainer Howard F Gibson must be respected together. Has the ability to take this out. FALLING LEAVES (3) Ran 3rd last run at the track and facing weaker opposition. Will be positive in the run early. Carlos Montalvo and Tom Wenzel deserve serious consideration as a team. Consider an each way bet. SOUTHERN ANTON (7) Dictated terms in front to win by a margin of almost 8L last run at this venue and showing consistent performance in races. Showing improvement in recent outings. Winnable race.

Flashed home late into 2nd beaten by 3L last time at the track and competing in a less challenging grade. Should get going late. Expecting a strong showing.

Was very impressive when winning by a margin of 3L last run at this track and facing a weaker group of contenders. Will try to take advantage of the draw. Not at all out of this race.

Honest race when 3rd last run at the track and drops back to a suitable grade. Carlos Montalvo and Tom Wenzel are a combination worth noting. Represents value.

Odds of $9.50 and folded up in the straight when 5th last run around here but matched against a less competitive field. Stable is in form. Will be a tough ask.

Just missed last run around here and going down in grade. Jockey Karlo Lopez and trainer Tim Mccanna go well together. Has shown early pace in races to date. Could be in the mix.
