Belterra Park Race 2

6F Stakes

Prize Money: $14,774

BETTERING (4) has switched yards since finishing fifth two-and-a-half weeks ago over 1308m at this track. Key runner who will be tough to beat. FIRE WIRE (3) settled well back last time out before finishing third over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Rates highly and expected to go well. MANSION PARTY (2) finished seventh over 1106m at Mahoning Valley (Dirt) at his most recent appearance on March 17. Lines up today for the first time for trainer Travis W Short. Has found a suitable race and is worth including. PICCATA PRINCE (1) was a determined winner two runs back then raced on the speed last time before finishing third over 1308m at this track (Dirt). Capable of playing a big role.
