Belterra Park Race 5 - 1m Stakes
NYKTOS (4) made her debut last start and was just fair in finishing fifth at Belterra Park Turf (Turf) over 1609m, beaten 7 lengths. Expected to be in the finish with the addition of blinkers. STORM SEARCH (5) is still a maiden after nine starts. Managed to fill a minor placing at this track (Dirt) two starts back before finishing sixth over 1106m at Thistledown (Dirt) last start. Among the leading chances. CANDLE'S LEGACY (3) returns after five-and-a-half months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a fourth over 1710m at Turfway Park (Synthetic). Leading player on best figures - bold showing expected. BETTY WHO (2) is a maiden with four minor placings to her name. Could not improve on that record when resuming last start, winding up in fifth over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Should come on from that last outing. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Not to be discounted.
