Belterra Park Race 6

6F Stakes

Prize Money: $13,178

BETTERING (2) improved last start when he worked home well to finish third over 1207m at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects. COMMANDO JOE (3) ran below expectations last time at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Dirt), finishing fifth and beaten 5.5 lengths starting at $2.70. Beautifully placed and is sure to play a major role. MY GRASS IS BLUE (5) went fast early over 1207m at this track (Dirt) last time and went on to score by 8 lengths. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot salute. TOM'S SPIRIT (6) turned in a fine effort to win by 2.5 lengths at today's track and distance last time out to continue his outstanding recent form. Looks well placed so expect another big run.
