Assiniboia Downs Race 2

Allowance Optional Claiming

Prize Money: $24,924

MAGNIFICENT MARIO (6) returned from a spell last start with a strong win by 0.8 lengths over 1106m at this track. Will be better for that latest run and looms as the one to beat again. STARSHIP CHEWBACCA (3) last appeared a month ago over 914m at Los Alamitos Qh when he finished fifth. This is his first run for the Wendy Anderson stable. Leading hope who should be tough to stop. Solid top-three chance for the new barn. VENTI (7) opened this prep with a win two runs ago. Couldn't follow that up last time out when sixth over 1408m at this track, beaten 13 lengths. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. MOON CONNECTION (2) showed good early dash last start and held on well to finish 12 lengths back in second over 1308m in stakes class at Chippewa Downs (Dirt). This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is right in contention.
