Assiniboia Downs Race 5

Canada S. Stakes

Stake: $82,569

SOPHIA'S STORM (7) was a gutsy winner last time over 1207m at Listed level at this track, scoring by half a length to make it three wins in a row. Has a strong association with Sven Balroop who has been in the saddle for her last three wins. Sure to play a big role. BURROW DOWN (1) fought on well to finish second last start over 1207m at Listed level at this track, beaten half a length. Looks well placed so expect another forward display. MARVELOUS LADY (2) has progressed nicely in her last couple of runs. Finished third at this track two starts back then landed the prize by 4 lengths as favourite last time out over 1509m at this track. Needs to be at her best to beat this field but she deserves plenty of thought. MIDSHIPMAN'S LADY (4) missed the frame last time when fourth at Lone Star Park. Prior to that had been in the money on three consecutive occasions. Should be prominent from the outset. Don't underestimate.
