Prairie Meadows Race 7 - 1m 1/2f Hcap
DESERT GATE (5) had been in top form, scoring two consecutive wins before being sent out favourite last time and finishing fourth over 1811m in the G3 Ohio Derby at Thistledown (Dirt). Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Leading contender. J J GREY (4) is in top form with two wins on end, the most recent an effortless 4 lengths victory over 1609m in stakes class at this track (Dirt) four weeks ago. Should park just off the speed. Expecting a bold showing. THE HELL WE DID (1) is a talented colt who was tested in tougher class last time when seventh over 1911m in the G1 Preakness Stakes at Laurel (Dirt). Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Will be in this for a long way. OUTMATCH (6) built on a nice second two starts back at this track (Dirt) with a win as public elect over 1207m at this track (Dirt) three weeks ago, getting home by 5 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run.
