Prairie Meadows Race 8

6f Stakes

Prize Money: $56,348

HOLA JOEY (5) is a distance specialist who got a long way back when 6 lengths from the winner in fifth over 1006m at Remington Park Turf last start, a less impressive effort than his fourth at this track the run before. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. RUN JALEN RUN (3) was successful last start over 1207m at this track (Dirt), getting home by 0.3 lengths to make it three wins on the bounce. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot score again. DEVIL'S TOWER (2) has enjoyed a let-up of five-and-a-half weeks since he won when resuming over 1207m at Thistledown (Dirt), scoring by 1.75 lengths. Fitter for that last hitout and another big run will not surprise. ROME'S CONQUEST (4) turned in a fine effort to score by a nose at this track and distance last time out to continue his outstanding recent form. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot repeat the dose.

Last start ran second last in a small field at this track on August 29 over 1710m, 16 len behind J T's Imagination with 56.5kg at $7.80. The race before that 5th of 7 at this track on August 7 over 1710m, 17 len behind Triple Up with 54kg at $42.50. Better than that recent moderate performance suggests.

Expected Settling Position: Off Midfield

Second run back. Comes off a 40-day let-up. First-up after three months came from midfield and won by 1.75 len at Thistledown on July 28 over 1207m defeating Moreau with 54kg at $3.70. Previously second-up 2nd of 7 at this track on September 22 over 1207m, 0.3 len behind Hola Joey carrying 56.5kg at $4. Clearly the one to beat again. Improver with winning prospects.

On a four run winning streak. At the latest run won by a nose at this track on August 9 over 1207m defeating Little Ni with 56kg at $2.50. The run before that ran on from midfield and won by 1.3 len at this track on July 3 over 1106m defeating Meroney carrying 56kg at $1.40. Racing well and can win again.
