Emerald Downs Race 3

Starter Allowance

Prize Money: $13,966

CLASSIC CINEMA (6) gets a change of rider and has been freshened up since finishing eighth over 1308m at Turf Paradise (Dirt) last start. Best form is good enough so worth another chance. BLAZING PEME (3) was thereabouts last time out when fourth over 905m at Turf Paradise (Dirt) after he was handy all the way. The extra journey should play into his hands. Right in the mix. BAD SNEAKERS (2) has been kept fresh since an all-the-way win over 1308m at Turf Paradise (Dirt). Same winning combination here and looks hard to run down. GYPSY GUN (1) resumes from a spell of seven months after closing off last preparation with three consecutive minor placings. One of the contenders.
