Prairie Meadows Race 8

1M Stakes

Prize Money: $30,327

INCA EMPIRE (5) lines up on the back of a 7 length fifth over 1710m at this track. Has a good record at this journey with six wins from 20 starts. Best figures read very well. HOLDING PATTERN (2) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago at this track. Not as effective last time out when fourth over 1710m at this track, beaten 7 lengths. Tackling a more suitable race so he is a major player. SHOTSHELL (3) has switched yards since finishing eighth two-and-a-half weeks ago over 1006m at Lone Star Park. Sure to make his presence felt. BEN DIESEL (4) made progress last time out, finishing 3 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1609m at this track. No surprise to see him in the mix.
