PRAIRIE GIRL (5) has been in sterling form since joining her new trainer this winter. Landed her third handicap (all at 5f) a fortnight ago beating the re-opposing CLONMACASH (7). Must prove herself at the slightly extended distance but hard to get away from while the other mentioned won his previous start here (7f) in convincing fashion and as with the main selection is up in the handicap for that but won't be far away again. Trainer also runs APACHE OUTLAW (4) who has shaped well recently at Newcastle (5f) when sixth beaten 4L. May contend. SIR LES PATTERSON (1) could fill the placings on return.
