Belterra Park Race 6 - 1M Stakes

BASSCOAT (3) ran fourth at his latest appearance over 1673m at this track, clocking in 2 lengths from the winner. Will prove hard to beat. DOWNTOWN CONNECTOR (1) backs up nine days after he was well-supported at this track (Dirt) and finished second over 1609m. Good effort last start and shapes as a major threat. FIRST SHOT FIRED (4) is fresh from a spell of five-and-a-half months and did hit the frame when last resuming at Gulfstream Park All Weather (Synthetic) over 1106m. In a different yard now. One of the genuine hopes in the race. BOBBY'S GIFT (2) has been in the placings his past two starts, finishing third over 1609m at this track (Dirt) last time out. Should park just off the speed. Must be respected.

Form hard to fault. Most recently 3rd of 7 at this track on May 14 over 1609m, 7 len behind Royally Bitter carrying 54.5kg at $6.20. The start before that gave a sight but was run down late 3rd in a small field at this track on May 2 over 1673m, 0.8 len behind Garden Leave carrying 53.5kg at $2.50. Strong winning hope.

Recent form sound. At the latest run eased back early on in a small field at this track on May 2 over 1673m, 2 len behind Garden Leave carrying 56kg at $3.20. The run before that 2nd of 10 at Turfway Park on March 13 over 1710m, 0.5 len behind Race Day Rebal carrying 54.5kg at $10.67. Can improve on that reasonable effort last time out.

Second run back. First-up after four months ran last of 7 at this track on May 14 over 1609m, 19 len behind Royally Bitter with 56.5kg at $6.50. Previously second-up came from midfield and won by 2.75 len at Louisiana Downs Turf May 19 2025 over 1609m defeating Castle Gap with 56.5kg at $1.70. Unlikely to threaten.
