Assiniboia Downs Race 8 - Race 8 - Claiming

BETTERLUCKNEXTTIME (6) has strung together a couple of wins at this track, the latest on September 9 over 1408m when he scored by 1.75 lengths. Winning rider Antonio Whitehall retains the mount. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish. FUNKENSTEIN (7) showed little early speed last start and failed to come on in the straight when fourth, beaten 7 lengths, over 1509m at this track. Has the class to take this out. ZULTAN (8) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.75 lengths from the winner in second over 1408m at this track after being in contention on the bend. Looks well placed so expect another big run. WRONG DIRECTION (4) settled well back last time out before finishing sixth over 1408m at this track. Record at this journey is strong with five wins from 16 runs and should be in the finish.

Chasing a hat-trick. At the latest run favourite; won by 1.75 len at this track on September 9 over 1408m defeating Zultan with 56.5kg at $1.90. The start before that favourite; tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 0.8 len at this track on August 26 over 1207m defeating Ralph's Gift carrying 56kg at $1.35. Well placed. Should prove hard to beat.
