Prairie Meadows Race 8

1m Stakes

Prize Money: $52,975

HICKO (6) is close to breaking through after three consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 1207m at this track (Dirt) after being in the firing line all the way. Expected to cross from wide out. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. STILL A SOLDIER (4) was beaten just a nose last start when second in a small field over 1609m at Lone Star Park (Dirt) at the first run of the campaign. Likely improver second up today, looks likely to feature again. MERASOL SUGAR (3) was in the firing line on the corner and finished second last start at the first run back from a spell over 1207m at this track (Dirt), beaten 6 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run again. DANEYKO (1) finished midfield when resuming from a break last start over 1609m at Listed level at this track (Dirt), beaten 19 lengths at long odds. The introduction of Lasix brings him right under notice.

At the latest run ran second last of 8 at Canterbury Park Turf in LR on June 27 over 1609m, 8 len behind Frosty View carrying 56kg at $98.50. Before that won by 1.3 len at this track June 13 over 1673m in the wet defeating Crooked As Can Be with 53.5kg at $4. Genuine chance this time around.

Racing well recently. At the latest run held ground to the line 3rd of 7 at this track on June 26 over 1207m, 2 len behind Vale with 55.5kg at $5.40. The start before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 8 at this track on May 25 over 1207m, 1.5 len behind Legacy Account with 55.5kg at $8.90. Best form should see him measure right up.
