Prairie Meadows Race 8 - 1m 1f Stakes
NAVAJO WARRIOR (8) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by 2.75 lengths over 1911m in the G3 Pimlico Special at Laurel (Dirt). Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is good enough to take this out. HEROIC MOVE (3) closed too well to score by 1.5 lengths at the most recent appearance over 1609m in the G3 Steve Sexton Mile Stakes at Lone Star Park (Dirt) at the second run this prep. Finds the right race to make it two in succession. CORNISHMAN (4) lines up for the hat-trick after registering a strong win last time over 1710m in Listed grade at this track (Dirt), scoring by one length. Elvin Gonzalez has been the pilot at his last two wins. Has claims on his best figures. GIGANTE (6) showed little early speed last start then picked up the bit in the straight to finish third at Listed level at Lone Star Park Turf (Turf) over today's journey. Tougher assignment this time but is not to be discounted.

Returns from a 31-day let-up. Last start 3rd in a small field at Churchill Downs on June 10 over 1609m, 4 len behind Touchy carrying 55.5kg at $2.03. Before that made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 14 at Churchill Downs on May 2 over 1609m, 3 len behind Vibe carrying 55.5kg at $11.27. Looks outclassed.

At the latest run won by a nose at Churchill Downs June 13 over 1911m defeating Pagode with 56kg at $3.06. The race before that 2nd of 7 at Churchill Downs on May 14 over 1811m, 1.0 len behind Master Controller with 56kg at $2.96. Latest form makes this a pretty tough assignment.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. Comes off a 47 day let-up. Resuming 5th of 10 at Sunland Park in LR on April 5 over 1811m, 13 len behind Vodka Vodka with 56kg at $3.20. Last start won by 1.5 len at Lone Star Park G3 Steve Sexton Mile Stakes May 25 over 1609m defeating Neoequos carrying 54.5kg at $6.80. Definite winning chance.

Form hard to fault. Last start favourite; ran on from midfield and won by 1.0 len at this track LR June 13 over 1710m defeating Woodcourt carrying 57kg at $2.20. Before that favourite; won by a 0.3 len at Fonner Park LR April 25 over 1710m defeating Zatara with 56.5kg at $2.30. Hard to beat if he brings his A-game.

Racing well recently. Comes here off a 57-day let-up. Most recently raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 7 at Laurel in the G3 Pimlico Special on May 15 over 1911m, 3.5 len behind Navajo Warrior carrying 55.5kg at $4.90. The race before that 3rd of 8 at Keeneland in the G3 Ben Ali Stakes on April 18 over 1911m, 1.5 len behind Stars And Stripes carrying 53.5kg at $10.80. Should be right in the finish.

Chasing a hat-trick. Comes here off a 57-day let-up. At the latest run favourite; won by 2.75 len at Laurel G3 Pimlico Special May 15 over 1911m defeating Maclean's Rook carrying 54.5kg at $2.30. The race before that favourite; raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 1.5 len at Gulfstream Park March 21 over 1710m defeating Gosger carrying 55kg at $5.50. Sure to be right there at the business end.

At the latest run scored a big 7 len win at this track June 19 over 1710m defeating Triple Up with 55kg at $2.50. The start before that held ground to the line 3rd of 7 at this track on May 23 over 1673m, 2.75 len behind Conquering Cat carrying 55.5kg at $3.90. Might just find this a bit too tough.
