Belterra Park Race 1

5 1/2f Stakes

Prize Money: $21,626

TAP THE WIND (3) was in the money over this journey two back then failed at the longer trip last time when fourth at this track (Dirt). Expected to bounce back. COUSIN JOE (4) did a great job to score by 2 lengths over this course and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. Perfectly placed and is sure to prove tough to beat again. DYNAMIC GIFT (2) had been rock-solid with two placings in a row before finishing fourth over 1207m at Thistledown last start. Deserves a win and can improve sharply. BUCKEYE MIKE (6) has not appeared since he finished fourth over 1207m at Mahoning Valley (Dirt) on April 2. Sure to make his presence felt.
