Belterra Park Race 8 - 1m Stakes

UNION EMPRESS (4) got off the mark with an impressive maiden win last time out over 1609m at this track (Turf). Yarmarie L Correa was in the saddle on that occasion and retains the mount. Progressing well so worth following up. LOVE IN LIGHTS (1) lines up for the first time since May 5. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1308m at Turfway Park. Yet to win first up but generally runs well with two minor placings from three tries. Has switched to the Anthony Stephen yard. Looks a winning chance. WILD COTTON (3) was a most impressive maiden winner over 1609m at Belterra Park (Dirt) last time out, scoring by 8 lengths. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Tougher task this time but expected to be competitive again. HIGH AS THE SKY (6) finished fourth, beaten 4.5 lengths, when tackling a turf track for the first time last start at this track over 1710m. Can do much better this time. Up to the task.

Is first-up after a break of three-and-a-half months and has been in the money when fresh before.

First up last campaign third of 12 at Turfway Park February 28 over 1308m, 8 len behind Vex carrying 56.5kg at $4.89. Anticipating a bright start to this prep.

Last start 2nd in a small field at Belterra Park on July 18 over 1673m, 0.8 len behind Evalina with 56kg at $3.60. Before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 7 at this track on June 27 over 1673m, 9 len behind Culoir carrying 52.5kg at $12.90. Tempted to look elsewhere on recent form.

Form hard to fault. Comes here off a 38-day let-up. Last start won by 8 len at Belterra Park on July 7 over 1609m defeating Turn Him Loose carrying 55kg at $1.60. The race before that 2nd in a small field at Belterra Park on May 22 over 1308m, 1.5 len behind Demetrius with 55kg at $1.50. Big chance again now that the penny has dropped.
