Belterra Park Race 6

6 1/2F Stakes

Prize Money: $40,061

EMPIRE'S FIRE (4) returned to winning form second up last start, scoring by 1.5 lengths over 1207m in stakes class at this track (Dirt). The third-up record is strong so he is sure to feature in the finish. THAT'S THE WAY (2) returns after a spell of four months. Looking to emulate his win at Mahoning Valley at the beginning of last prep. Sure to make his presence felt. BIG TRUCK (3) finished 9 lengths back in fifth in stakes company last time over 1710m at Listed level at Thistledown (Dirt). Did win two back by 0.1 lengths at Thistledown (Dirt). Change of rider to Perry Wayne Ouzts who has five wins when aboard. Has winning claims on best figures. MR REDLEGS (1) scored last start at this track (Dirt) to make it two wins from three starts this campaign. Record at this track is strong. Cannot be underestimated.
