Stake: $230,192

WILDATLANTICSTORM (2) Back from a 27 week break. Weakened under pressure when 6th last time at Prairie Meadows. Looking past the last run and strong form at the distance. Respect in this event. SKELLY (1) First up from a break of 22 weeks and gave them all something to chase when winning by a margin of 1 1/4L first up last preparation around here. Strong chance. RUN CLASSIC (6) Narrowly beaten last run at this venue. Putting up notable efforts this preparation. Deserves consideration. NASTY HABIT (7) Tailed off to finish 7th last time at this venue. Should bounce back but back in trip. Capable of getting into the money. Something for the Multiples: EDGE TO EDGE (5)
