The question going into the Saturday evening card at Red Shores Racetrack and Casino at the Charlottetown Driving Park is whether Ramblinglily can re-establish her Fillies and Mares Open dominance or if Sodwana Bay will remain undefeated.

The 12-dash Saturday evening program kicks off at 6:00 P.M. with the Fillies and Mares Open Pace hitting the track in race 9 for a $2,350 pot. Sodwana Bay has drawn Post 5 in the contest with Gilles Barrieau training and driving the mare for owners Wayne MacRae of Fall River, N.S., and Howmac Farms Ltd., of North Wiltshire. The five-year-old daughter of No Pan Intended has hit the winner’s circle in both tries since relocating to Prince Edward Island -- the fastest trip in 1:55.3 -- while defeating reigning champion Ramblinglily both times. Ramblinglily has post 6 this week for driver Gary Chappell and trainer Allan Jones of New Brunswick.

Race analyst Les MacIsaac is giving the edge to Sodwana Bay in the Fillies and Mares Open pace.

“Sodwana Bay is undefeated since coming to the Island and until something steps up and knocks the crown off the queen, we'll have to stay on her bandwagon,” MacIsaac said.

Other entries include West River Ambyr (Steven Shepherd), Traces Of Purple (Ken Murphy), Prettyndangerous (Adam Merner) and Drivingthedragon (Jason Hughes).

The Preferred Pace hits the track in race 11 with In Spades looking for redemption after a fifth-place finish in his much-anticipated East Coast debut. Austin Sorrie is back in the driver’s seat from post 4 this week for owner Walter Simmons of Summerside after coming East from a profitable winter racing season in Ontario. Rose Run Quest scored the upset against this group last week and gets post 3 in Saturday’s $2,500 race for trainer-driver Marc Campbell and owner Blair Hansen of Charlottetown. Also in the field is Heart And Soul (Walter Cheverie), Keep Coming (Corey MacPherson), Euchred (Adam Merner) and Czar Seelster (Todd Weatherbee).
