Belterra Park Race 8 - 1M Stakes

ROYALLY BITTER (3) made progress last start to finish second over 1673m at this track after being prominent at the bend. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. DOWNTOWN CONNECTOR (1) has been in the placings his past two starts, finishing second over 1710m at Tampa Bay Downs (Dirt) last time out. Settles back early but winds up late. Leading contender. HEAT LIGHTNING (4) lines up for the first time since January 17. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1609m at Louisiana Downs Turf. Among the better hopes. NOT YET CHARLIE (6) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1609m at Mahoning Valley, beaten 7 lengths. Likely improver who looks sure to play a big role.
