Rosetown Mary will try to deliver from the grandstand side of the starting gate in Thursday evening's Fillies and Mares Preferred Pace at Red Shores Racetrack and Casino at the Charlottetown Driving Park.
The capital oval has 11 dashes scheduled for a 6 p.m. start, including the $3,700 Fillies and Mares Preferred Pace in Race 10 with a cooler presentation from Gaming Security Professionals Of Canada. Corey MacPherson trains and drives the 5-2 morning line favourite, Rosetown Mary, from post seven in the field of as many for owners Taylor MacPherson and Rosetown Stable. The Pang Shui four-year-old has yet to miss the top three so far this season.
Pasta Momma will make her first Island start from post one after being scratched from her June 6 start. Marc Campbell will drive the winner of 12 races for trainer Landon Campbell.
Tobins Brownie has knocked on the door of this class every week, including a trio of victories in May, and will leave from post two on Thursday for trainer/driver David Dowling.
Post three will have Plain Jane for trainer Landon Campbell with Brady Sweet assigned the catch-drive.
Ms Moyse (Adam Merner) will leave from post four for trainer Melissa Rennie while last week’s Fillies and Mares Preferred winner, Share The Moment (Gilles Barrieau), has drawn post five for the Bo Ford barn.
Post six belongs to Acefortyfour Dome (Mark Bradley), who will be making her first start of the Summer Meet for trainer Ashley Gamester.
The Post Time Picks selects Pasta Momma to win off the rail: “Pasta Momma shows some fast miles at half-mile tracks south of the border last year and that qualifier here in Charlottetown looked pretty impressive. She'll be tough to beat from the rail.”
Race 5 is the Happy 30th Birthday Dr. Katie McQueen Pace with Galway Girl (Marc Campbell) the top selection from post seven for trainer Landon Campbell and owners Kent MacDonald, Bernard MacDonald, Jacinta Campbell and Brady Doyle.
