Emerald Downs Race 3

Claiming

Stake: $15,498

NATION OF FAITH (4) is a genuine type with two minor placings from three starts this campaign. Continued the trend last time out when third over 1207m at this track (Dirt) after he was always up in the leading division. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. BATTLEOF TRAFALGAR (2) kicked off this campaign with a win two runs ago. Couldn't follow that up last time out when seventh over 1207m at this track, beaten 12 lengths. Finds a suitable race and can get the job done. QUAIL (3) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just once from 10 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when fifth over 1006m at this track, beaten 6 lengths. Faces an easier assignment so he is a major player. THUSLY INSPIRED (1) pushed forward and was a determined winner by one length over 1207m at this track (Dirt) last time out. Has been in sound form this prep with a win and a placing from four starts. One of the fringe hopes.

Form hard to fault. Last start held ground to the line 3rd of 8 at this track on June 15 over 1207m, 1.5 len behind Uncle Juju carrying 56kg at $4.55. The start before that got back early 3rd in a small field at this track on May 31 over 1207m, 4 len behind Validate carrying 56kg at $4. Right in the mix again.
