Belterra Park Race 5

1m 1/2f Stakes

Prize Money: $18,131

MUSIC THEORY (4) finished out of the money two starts back then he settled well back and was beaten 11 lengths when fourth in a 1811m contest at Churchill Downs six weeks ago after being prominent at the bend. Has the class to take this out. TURNBUCKLE (2) resumes today after filling a minor placing at his last appearance at Turfway Park (Synthetic) over 1710m on March 20. Comes here with definite claims. WOLF DAKOTA (1) produced a nice effort on debut in better company last start over 1207m at Belterra Park (Dirt) when third, beaten 1.5 lengths. Likely improver so another top-three finish is on the cards. BRAHMS HALO (6) was prominent at the bend and finished third last start at the first run back from a spell over 1207m at Belterra Park (Dirt), beaten 4 lengths. Will benefit from that outing. Capable of another bold effort.

At debut, eased back early on 3rd in a small field at Belterra Park on June 4 over 1207m, 1.5 len behind Discerning Spirit carrying 56.5kg at $14.10. Probable improver with bright prospects.

Comes off a 41 day let-up. At the latest run ran last in a small field at Churchill Downs on May 17 over 1811m, 11 len behind Hutchinson with 53.5kg at $9.75. The start before that ran last of 8 at Horseshoe Indianapolis on April 21 over 1609m, 16 len behind Astound with 55.5kg at $33.20. Can improve again. Top chance.
