Prairie Meadows Pick 5 analysis

Race 7: $5,000 Claiming (5 1/2 furlongs on dirt)

#5 True Prodigy (3-1) is 2-for-2 at Prairie Meadows, winning a $5,000 maiden claimer and a $5,000 claimer for non-winners of two races. He’s a logical contender while stepping up to the non-winners-of-three level, but don’t overlook #2 Hasty Flyer (6-1), who has run faster on the Brisnet Speed rating scale. Two starts back at Prairie Meadows, he won a $20,000 claimer for non-winners of two races.

Race 8: $30,000 Starter Allowance (six furlongs on dirt)

#1 Time to Sing (7-2) is dropping in class out of an allowance, and two starts back he won a $50,000 claimer. But #4 Rockin Boots (5-2) has run faster on the Brisnet Speed rating scale and has a big win chance for the hot jockey/trainer duo of Kevin Roman and Bonnie Birzer.

Race 9: $40,000 Allowance Optional Claiming (one mile on dirt)

#3 Time to Fly (3-1) exits a 16 1/4-length demolition of the Iowa Stallion S. at Prairie Meadows. But that was a restricted race. #1 Winnemac Avenue (2-1) and #2 Happy Strike (4-1) boast slightly higher Brisnet Speed ratings and have recently run well against unrestricted company, so they’re logical challengers.

Race 10: Allowance (six furlongs on dirt)

#2 Mickswagger (2-1) is dropping in class off a fifth-place finish in the Iowa Derby. Two starts back, he won the Prairie Mile by three lengths. There’s talent here, but cutting back to six furlongs is a question mark. Capable sprinters #4 Cash Fever (6-1) and #6 Brownstone (3-1) have upset potential.

Race 11: $30,000 Claiming (six furlongs on dirt)

Several horses appear to fit well in the Pick 5 finale. We’ll spread with #1 Tommy’s Crue (3-1), #5 Tennessee Grace (7-2), #6 Sister Swede (4-1), #7 Shannon K (8-1), and #9 Gisele’s Map (8-1).

Good luck!
