Verdict

PRAIRIE GIRL has thrived upon joining her present yard, making amends for her demotion here in December when running out a ready winner of a 9-runner C&D handicap 4 weeks ago. She looks sure to take some stopping again despite a career-high mark and earns the vote. Clonmacash and Inishfallen are others to consider in what rates an interesting opener.
