Belterra Park Race 7 - 6f Hcap
BREAKHEART PASS (5) was responsible for a solid effort last time out when second at Listed level at Thistledown (Dirt) over 1207m, beaten one length. Should be at his peak now. Big chance to score. EL NOTIONAL (8) was a most impressive winner last time over 1106m at Thistledown (Dirt), scoring by 7 lengths. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Leading contender. SAMURAI SWORD (2) broke through for his maiden win over 1006m at Thistledown (Dirt) last time, scoring comfortably. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Shaping up nicely and he is one of the main chances. RULE THE ROOST (4) went forward and proved too strong on debut last start, scoring with 2.25 lengths to spare over 1106m at Thistledown (Dirt). Not to be discounted.

Form hard to fault. Most recently won by 7 len at Thistledown on August 31 over 1106m defeating First Timber carrying 53.5kg at $1.05. The race before that 2nd in a small field at Thistledown on August 10 over 1006m, 3 len behind Samurai Sword with 53.5kg at $2.80. Big chance again now that the penny has dropped.
