Belterra Park Race 2 - 6F Stakes
JIM'S RIVER RUNNER (5) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he was always well out of his ground over 1207m at Thistledown, beaten 10 lengths into seventh. Tackling a more suitable race this time so he is a major player. GIFT OF OAK (1) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on November 7, finishing sixth and beaten 18 lengths over 1207m at Mahoning Valley (Dirt). One of the genuine hopes in the race. CHIEF BUCKEYE (2) settled towards the back of the field last start and made little impact in the straight when fifth, beaten 12 lengths, over this journey at Mahoning Valley (Dirt). Has a good record at this course and distance, including three wins. Faces an easier assignment so he is likely to play a big role. CHECK THE FACTS (3) drifted back early when resuming last start and could only manage a 16 length sixth over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Second up record is very strong. Can do better than last.

Gelding back from a spell of six months. Has placed previously first up from a break. Finished off last campaign when last in a small field at Mahoning Valley November 7 over 1207m, 18 len behind Aint No Bandleader with 57kg at $38. Previously first up; second last of 8 at Mahoning Valley October 28 over 1207m, 21 len behind Hidden Ransom with 56kg at $56.20. Could prove too smart for these.
