Assiniboia Downs Race 5

Allowance Optional Claiming

Stake: $28,966

GIRL FROM DE BAYOU (1) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing second last time out over 1408m at Sam Houston Park (Dirt). Taking on a better field but she is capable of running a bold race. MY ANTICIPATION (3) is an imported four-year-old having his first run in this area for the Eugene Burns stable. Hasn't raced since she finished fourth over 1106m at Gulfstream Park All Weather (Synthetic) 12 weeks ago. Hasn't trialled publicly for the new connections but she is among the leading chances. MINERAL RIGHTS (6) returns from a spell of seven months and did win first-up last time in work over 1106m at Fresno (Dirt). Has found a suitable race to kick off the campaign. DAMN THE TORPEDOES (4) finished fifth over 1106m at this track at her most recent appearance on October 1. Sure to make her presence felt.

Racing well recently. Returns from a 39-day let-up. Most recently held ground to the line 2nd of 9 at Sam Houston Park on April 3 over 1408m, 0.3 len behind Imma Going To Win with 56kg at $2. The start before that favourite; came from midfield and won by 4 len at Sam Houston Park March 8 over 1207m defeating Millie G with 55kg at $4.70. Poised to win after a narrow defeat last time.
