Assiniboia Downs Race 6

Allowance

Prize Money: $27,235

MIGHTY MIKEE (2) returns from a spell of seven months and did score first-up when last in work at this track over 1006m. Lines up for the first time for the Mike Taphorn stable. Expecting a seamless transition. CLASSICO (4) kicked off this campaign with a win two runs ago. Couldn't follow that up last time out when fourth over 1609m at Santa Anita Turf, beaten 7 lengths. Won't find this as tough so he is a leading player. WITT'S TEN TOUCH (1) lines up on the back of a 8 length fifth over 1207m at Fonner Park. Senior rider goes aboard today. Has definite claims. ACKNOWLEDGE (6) finished eighth over 1811m in stakes class at this track at his most recent appearance on August 4. Among the better hopes.
