Prairie Meadows Race 8 - 1M 1F Stakes
DRAGOON GUARD (6) is a promising four-year-old entire who returned from a break last start and finished half a length away in second over 1609m at Churchill Downs (Dirt). A win will not surprise. GOULD'S GOLD (1) was a winner last time over 1811m at Churchill Downs (Dirt) and re-unites with Brian Joseph Hernandez Jr who steered on that occasion. Down in the weights this time so he is worth following up. HEROIC MOVE (5) is racing well. Scored in stakes class at Sunland Park (Dirt) two back then finished third, beaten 2.5 lengths, over 1609m in the G3 Steve Sexton Mile Stakes at Lone Star Park (Dirt) at the latest appearance five-and-a-half weeks ago. Capable of running a big race. CORNISHMAN (7) comes here off a last-start second, beaten half a length, over 1710m at this track. Hard to knock. Something for the Multiples: JOKESTAR (4)
