Assiniboia Downs Race 2 - Race 2 - Allowance Optional Claiming
CEEPEEGEE (5) fought on for third last start over 1207m at Oaklawn Park (Dirt), making it two minor placings in a row. Will need a good ride from Sven Balroop off the awkward draw. Won't find this as tough so he is a major player. JUST TRUST ME (4) is resuming from a spell of nine months and having his first run for the Eugene Burns yard. Was in the placings when first-up from a spell last campaign at Turf Paradise (Dirt) over 1006m. Has found the right race and can take this out. MEDICINE DOG (3) is having his first run since June 24. Has a strong record when fresh with two wins from two runs, the most recent over 1106m at this track at the start of last prep. Expect him to pose a serious challenge. FALSELY ACCUSED (1) finished last campaign with a couple of minor placings, the latest over 1408m at this track seven months ago. Has a decent record at this track. Cannot be underestimated.
