Belterra Park Race 8 - 1M 1/2F Hcap
VILLIAN (5) settled well back and turned in a mediocre run last time out over 2012m in Listed grade at Thistledown (Dirt) after a nice win the start prior. Yet to miss the placings in three starts over this course and distance. Finds a more suitable contest and can find winning form. JUST LIKE RAMBO (8) was on a winning run of two races but last time out finished second over 1710m at this track. Can bounce straight back. SHADOWY (10) is back from a spell of ten weeks and does go well when fresh, including a win to launch last campaign over 1207m at Mahoning Valley (Dirt). Capable of playing a major role. THAT'S THE WAY (4) returned from a spell three-and-a-half weeks ago when he was beaten 3 lengths into fifth over 1106m at Thistledown. Fitter so can figure in the finish.
