Prairie Meadows Race 6

1M 1/2F Hcap

Stake: $83,981

WARRIOR JOHNY (3) has failed to figure of late. Two starts back could only manage fourth over 1811m at Keeneland. At the latest run he failed to complete the course at Churchill Downs. On his best form is sure to prove hard to beat. CORNISHMAN (5) is rarely out of the frame on dirt but finished 1.3 lengths away in fourth over 1609m at Turf Paradise two back. Again missed the placings but on turf most recently when fifth at Turf Paradise over 2213m. Nice class drop this time. Bold showing expected. AIN'T LIFE GRAND (1) finished third at this track and distance at his last appearance eight months ago. Excellent record here having never missed the placings in 15 starts, including eight wins and seven placings. Has to be respected. SECRET CHAT (2) is building towards a win with placings at his last two runs, the latest effort a second over 1609m at Gulfstream Park (Dirt) when beaten half a length. Among the chances again.
