Emerald Downs Race 6 - Race 6 - Mdn Special Weight
VINO VIKING (1) Finished well when 3rd last run around here and has drawn to do little work. Frank T Alvarado and Tom Wenzel command respect as a team. Suitably placed in this race. ANNABELLE'S ASSET (7) Was making up some late ground when 5th last run around here. Looks promising in this race. FAVORED SON (3) Peaked on the run when 3rd last start at this venue. Displays good tactical speed. Can win this. ILLUSION OF CHOICE (2) Ran home into 2nd beaten by 4L last time at this venue and can find a nice position from the draw. Can figure in the finish.

Zipped home into 3rd beaten by 3 3/4L last run at the track and promising career start. Jockey Frank T Alvarado is in top form for this stable. Goes well and could be a value opportunity.

Was outmatched at the end of the race when 3rd last start at the track. Won't be far away during the run. Genuine claims.

At $6.50 weakened under pressure when 8th last start here. Tom Wenzel has been training plenty of winners recently. Expected to settle towards the rear. This will pose a challenge.

Came in 6th last start at this venue. Recent form of Jorge Rosales is strong. Will need to lift.

Odds of $9.00 and moved ahead of some to finish 5th last run here. Should be in the finish.

Was $9.00 and improved late to finish 5th last time at this track and having second race start. Place claims at best.
