Belterra Park Race 7

6f Hcap

Prize Money: $104,167

BREAKHEART PASS (5) was responsible for a solid effort last time out when second at Listed level at Thistledown (Dirt) over 1207m, beaten one length. Should be at his peak now. Big chance to score. EL NOTIONAL (8) was a most impressive winner last time over 1106m at Thistledown (Dirt), scoring by 7 lengths. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Leading contender. SAMURAI SWORD (2) broke through for his maiden win over 1006m at Thistledown (Dirt) last time, scoring comfortably. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Shaping up nicely and he is one of the main chances. RULE THE ROOST (4) went forward and proved too strong on debut last start, scoring with 2.25 lengths to spare over 1106m at Thistledown (Dirt). Not to be discounted.

Raced two times to date. At debut, held ground to the line 3rd of 7 at Thistledown on July 20 over 1106m, 21 len behind Breakheart Pass carrying 53.5kg at $13.10. Second-up favourite; won by 3 len at Thistledown on August 10 over 1006m defeating El Notional carrying 53.5kg at $2.50. Impressive of late. Right in the mix again.

Raced twice to date. When well in the market at debut, scored a big 18 len win at Thistledown on July 20 over 1106m defeating Down River carrying 54.5kg at $1.80. Last start 2nd in a small field at Listed level at Thistledown at Thistledown on August 8 over 1207m, 1.0 len behind Book Value with 53.5kg at $3.40. Well-placed and should prove hard to beat.

Form hard to fault. Most recently won by 7 len at Thistledown on August 31 over 1106m defeating First Timber carrying 53.5kg at $1.05. The race before that 2nd in a small field at Thistledown on August 10 over 1006m, 3 len behind Samurai Sword with 53.5kg at $2.80. Big chance again now that the penny has dropped.
