Assiniboia Downs Race 2

Allowance Optional Claiming

Stake: $35,783

EMIRATES AFFAIR (3) last appeared two weeks ago over 1207m at Oaklawn Park when she finished sixth. This is her first run for the Steve Keplin (Jnr) stable. Expecting a seamless transition. WELCOMETOHOLLYWOOD (2) comes here off a break of eight months. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1006m at this track. One of the genuine hopes in the race. OLGA (4) found plenty to salute by 3 lengths three runs back at Tampa Bay Downs (Dirt) before filling a minor placing at her last two starts. This looks a nice race so deserves respect. MIDSHIPMAN'S LADY (5) lines up on the back of a 37 length eighth over 1308m at Fonner Park. Ticks all the right boxes.

At the latest run ran last of 8 at Fonner Park in LR on May 2 over 1308m, 37 len behind Sweet Mother Mary with 56.5kg at $17.05. The run before that sat on the pace when 3rd of 9 at Sam Houston Park on March 1 over 1207m, 4 len behind Sweet Karat Cake carrying 56kg at $9.20. Easily accounted for last start but is capable of better.
