Assiniboia Downs Race 4

Allowance Optional Claiming

Stake: $35,948

TAILLIGHTS (1) was on a winning run of two races but last time out finished third over 1609m at this track. Rates highly and can atone. DREAMING OF KONA (2) showed little early speed last start and failed to come on in the straight when seventh, beaten 13 lengths, over 1609m in Listed grade at this track. Perfectly placed and is sure to be there at the finish. DIAMOND RIM (6) closed off strongly last start to get up for second, beaten 0.3 lengths, over 1207m at this track. Among the main chances. CHIEF BRADY (5) started at $4.30 last time but could only manage sixth, beaten 2.25 lengths, at this track over 1207m. Should be poised just off the lead. Sure to be thereabouts.

Form hard to fault. Most recently held ground to the line 3rd of 8 at Listed level at this track at this track on August 3 over 1609m, 9 len behind Bergheim carrying 54.5kg at $48.50. The run before that won by 1.75 len at this track on July 13 over 1207m defeating Falsely Accused with 56.5kg at $2.35. Can take this out.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. Comes off a 42 day let-up. First-up ran last of 7 in Listed grade at this track at this track on June 23 over 1207m, 9 len behind Bergheim with 54kg at $11.80. Second-up ran last in a small field at Listed level at this track at this track on July 13 over 1509m, 19 len behind Judo carrying 54.5kg at $17.25. Form doesn't read well but he is a genuine chance.

Racing well recently. At the latest run made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 7 at this track on August 4 over 1207m, 0.3 len behind Dominant Spirit with 56.5kg at $4.60. The race before that ran on from midfield and won by 4.5 len at North Dakota Horse Park on July 18 over 1207m defeating After The Game with 57kg at $1.40. Rates highly after a strong run last time.
