Emerald Downs Race 8

Maiden Claiming

Stake: $14,752

ALWAYS GALLANT (5) is a 10-start maiden who finished fourth at her most recent outing over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Well placed on this occasion and gets her chance to break the ice. LIBBY'S GAMBIT (4) got well back over 1106m at this track (Dirt) last time and never threatened, eventually finishing 8 lengths away in sixth. Won't find this as tough so she is a major player. SENSIBLE LUTE (7) finished out of the money when fresh from a spell two starts back then was beaten 6 lengths when fifth over 1106m at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago after being in contention on the corner. Finds a more suitable contest and can get the job done. LADY MORMONT (1) was prominent at the turn and finished second last time over 1207m at this track (Dirt), beaten 2.25 lengths. Hard to beat in this suitable race.

On debut ran last in a small field at this track August 11 over 1106m, 20 len behind Betty Lute carrying 54.5kg at $11.70. Hard to recommend.
