Belterra Park Race 7 - 6F Stakes
HALFWAY JOKING (5) is a 11-start maiden who filled a minor placing at Turfway Park (Synthetic) at the last run before spelling. Can pick up where he left off. Rates on top and is a great chance to open the campaign with a win. FRANKLIN WILDER (3) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 5.5 lengths when fourth in a 1609m contest at Turfway Park seven-and-a-half weeks ago after being in contention on the bend. Has the talent to take this out. GRAND KINGDOM (2) returns from a spell of six-and-a-half months and is having his first run for a new yard. Finished seventh at Colonial Downs Inner Turf (Turf) over 1811m when first-up last time in work. Worth plenty of thought on an each-way basis. DAUNTED (1) never got into the race when 12th last time at Turfway Park (Synthetic) but drops in weight for this. Looks well placed here so may be worth including.

Was at long odds at debut, ran last in a small field at Horseshoe Indianapolis on April 8 over 1207m, 24 len behind Stefan's Title with 54.5kg at $25.20. Didn't quite do enough on debut to raise the hopes.
