Prairie Meadows Race 8 - 6f Stakes
DRESS GOOD (3) Made considerable ground when 2nd last time at this track but matched against tougher rivals. Going well this preparation. Can have an impact. CROOKED AS CAN BE (5) Weakened under pressure when 7th last run here. Happy to forgive that run and lining up against easier rivals. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Winning chance in what appears a suitable race. PURSE THIEF (2) Was outmuscled when 2nd last run at the track and can find a nice position from the draw. Competing in a more challenging grade. One of the hopes. TRAFALGAR'S HERO (1) Was amongst the placegetters when 2nd last time here and can save some energy from the barrier. Will be trying to topple them late. Testing ability against stronger contenders. Solid place bet prospects.

Came on strongly when 2nd beaten by 2 1/4L last time at this track and drawn well. Facing a stronger group of contenders. On an upward trajectory in recent races. Nice price for the value seekers.

Gave plenty of cheek when 2nd last run at this track and will try to take advantage of the gate. Up against a higher level of opposition. Watch early betting.

Finished amongst the placegetters when 2nd beaten by 2 1/4L last time at the track but competing in a higher grade. In fine form since returning from a break. Holds a major chance.

Looked flat when 5th last start at this venue but matched against less formidable competition. In top form since coming back from a spell. Will need a big effort to win this.

Odds of $11.00 and didn't threaten when 7th last run at this venue. Happy to forgive that run and will find this grade easier. Should come to hand quickly. Will show up at the business end.

First up and controlled the pace when winning by a margin of 4L first up last preparation at Oaklawn Park. Likely to get back. Considerable improvement needed.
