2017 Ontario Fashion Stakes Entries at Woodbine Racetrack

Stormy Victoria 5-2

Christophe Clement trained French bred mare had two wins in eight career starts at home but failed to place in her last four - all stakes races. She returned from seven months away from the track and made her North American debut April 29, 2016 and promptly won an Allowance Optional Claiming at Belmont Park. Stormy Victoria has been pretty good since - an Allowance Optional Claiming score last time out at Belmont Park September 22 followed a third in the G2 Nassau Stakes on this track May 27 and a second in the minor Powder Break Stakes at Gulfstream Park April 29. Before that was a fourth in the G3 My Charmer Handicap at Gulfstream Park West in November, a second in the G3 Athenia Stakes at Belmont Park last October and a third in the G3 Noble Damsel Stakes September 24, 2016. She has placed in seven of eight North American starts but still has yet to claim a stakes/group score. Jockey Luis Contreras hopes to change all of that Saturday from the post 3.

Moonlit Promise 3-1

Has placed in six of seven career starts for trainer Josie Carroll - four wins and two second-place finishes - all at Woodbine. She enters off a good win over Southern Ring and River Maid in the minor Sweet Briar Stakes September 17 which followed 10 months away, a sixth in her only graded stakes action to date - the G3 Maple Leaf Stakes, a win in the listed La Lorgnette Stakes last September and a second in the listed Duchess Stakes in August, 2016. Moonlit Promise has been competitive so far and tries to finally prove in in graded stakes action Saturday. Gary Boulanger rides from gate 6.

Before that was a good win in the G3 Whimsical Stakes on this track in April and a third in the minor Minaret Stakes at Tampa Bay in February.

Mikes Aprise has been up and down lately - a seventh last time out in the G3 Ontario Matron Stakes at Woodbine July 22 followed a win in the minor Trillium Stakes here June 18, a respectable second behind Code Warrior in the G3 Hendrie Stakes on this track June 4 and a third in the G2 Bessarabian Stakes also at Woodbine back on November 19. She also had a fourth in the G3 Maple Leaf Stakes November 5, a good win in the minor H.B.P.A Stakes here October 6 and a third in the minor Steve Pini Memorial at Suffolk Downs last September 3.
