Belterra Park Race 5 - 1m Stakes

VILLIAN (3) was prominent from the outset when fourth over 1710m in Listed grade at Thistledown (Dirt) last time out. Will find this much easier. Expected to be in the finish. MY ROMEO LIMA (4) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish 1.3 lengths away in third over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Well placed and there is no reason he cannot salute. EVENING NEWS (6) raced on the speed last start over this course and distance and stuck on well to finish second, beaten 4.5 lengths. The engagement of Oscar Villarreal is noteworthy. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run again. SPECIAL JUSTICE (1) could only manage ninth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1710m at Ellis Park Turf, beaten 5 lengths. Nicely placed to maintain the form.

Last start 2nd in a small field at this track on July 11 over 1609m, 4.5 len behind Spencer's Boy Luna carrying 55.5kg at $3.30. The race before that ran second last of 7 at Churchill Downs on May 24 over 1609m, 35 len behind Systemic Change carrying 53.5kg at $17.58. Nice effort last time so worth following up.
