Prairie Meadows Race 5 - 5 1/2f Stakes

BLOW TORCH (2) scored at this track (Dirt) last time out with 0.8 lengths in reserve at the end of 1106m. Has three wins here. Elvin Gonzalez who has three wins when partnering stays on. Well placed and should be in the finish. SPIRIT'S MISCHIEF (4) has put together a couple of wins at this track, the latest on June 22 over 1006m when he got home by 1.5 lengths. Looks well placed so expect another big run. QUARTER RAT (6) turned in a modest performance when fourth last time out over 1006m at this track, beaten 4 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Has started three times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. TIME MACHINE (1) is struggling to break through but hasn't been far away, the latest effort a second, beaten 1.5 lengths, over 1006m at this track (Dirt). Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Solid claims on best form.

Comes off a 39 day let-up. Most recently ran second last of 7 at this track on June 8 over 1207m, 8 len behind Quarter Rat with 56.5kg at $6.10. The run before that made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 7 at this track on May 16 over 1207m, 2 len behind Blow Torch carrying 56kg at $3.80. Genuine chance this time around.
