Prairie Meadows Race 2

6F Stakes

Stake: $48,937

RIVER RIDGE (4) finished eighth two runs back at Fairgrounds (Turf) then improved last time out to score by 8 lengths after being in contention on the turn over 1710m at Keeneland (Dirt). Finds a suitable race and can get the job done again. GLUCKSTADT (5) has switched yards since scoring by 0.8 lengths at Oaklawn Park over 1609m on April 18. Definite winning chance in this line-up. FORTHELONGHAUL (1) was safely held when third last start over 1207m at Tampa Bay Downs, beaten 5 lengths after being in contention on the turn. That followed a good win on debut at Tampa Bay Downs. Likely improver with strong prospects. ROCK CITY ROCKET (2) was beaten 7 lengths into sixth at the second run back from a break in a 805m contest at Fonner Park last time out. A Pusac gets the best out of this eight-year-old gelding. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.

Lining up for just third start. When well in the market at debut, came from midfield and won by 1.5 len at Tampa Bay Downs March 28 over 1207m defeating El Chispazo carrying 54.5kg at $3. Last start 3rd in a small field at Tampa Bay Downs on April 18 over 1207m, 5 len behind Cajun Venom carrying 55.5kg at $4.50. Impressive of late.
