Belterra Park Race 8 - 1m Stakes
UNION EMPRESS (8) met with solid support last start over 1673m at Belterra Park (Dirt) when second, beaten 11 lengths. Certainly deserves another chance. AKKADIAN (6) followed an unplaced effort first-up two runs back with a second last start over 1609m at this track after being in the firing line on the corner. Looks well placed so expect another big run. HALLEY'S COMET (9) failed to threaten when fresh from a spell last time out, beaten 10 lengths into ninth over 1106m at Churchill Downs Turf (Turf). Can feature in the finish. WAITTILNEXTYEAR (4) finished third last time over 1609m at Horseshoe Indianapolis Turf (Turf), beaten 2.25 lengths. Will trim down following recent racing. Nicely placed to play a role in the finish. Something for the Multiples: WOLF DAKOTA (5)
