Emerald Downs Race 5 - Emerald Downs Claiming
RAFANELLI (4) ran below expectations last time at Golden Gate Fields (Synthetic) over 1207m, finishing fifth and beaten 5 lengths. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Best figures should see her run well. MERINO WOOL (3) lines up for the hat-trick after registering a strong win last time over 1609m at Turf Paradise (Turf), scoring by 0.3 lengths. Has good early toe so she should be handy in the run. Will play a major role. LA POPIS (6) finds it hard to win with two victories from 25 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when seventh over 1207m at Golden Gate Fields, beaten 8 lengths. Meeting a deeper field this time but she deserves serious consideration. BEA MISCHIEF (5) raced on the pace over 1609m at Turf Paradise (Dirt) last time and went on to win by 2.75 lengths. Has been in sound form this prep with a win and two minor placings from four outings. Minor claims.
