Assiniboia Downs Race 3 - Manitoba Oaks Stakes

EVOLUTION (2) was an emphatic winner last time over 1509m in stakes class at this track with today's rider Antonio Whitehall engaged. Has been in great form with two victories from four outings this preparation. Leading contender. WECANONLYIMAGINE (5) travelled in a rearwards position and was disappointing over 1509m at Listed level at this track last time out when in the market. That followed a good second the run prior. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. BARTENDER (3) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 4.5 lengths when fifth in a 1408m contest at Ellis Park three-and-a-half weeks ago. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. SHORT SPEECH (4) has put together back-to-back placings after scoring three back at this track, most recently beaten 8 lengths into second over 1106m at this track. Best figures measure up and is sure to run well.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run ran on from midfield; 2nd of 7 at this track on July 15 over 1106m, 8 len behind Tap The Parlay with 53.5kg at $17.95. The run before that 2nd in a small field at this track on June 22 over 1207m, 0.5 len behind Amass Money with 53kg at $1.65. Definite chance in this small line-up.
