Belterra Park Race 4

6 1/2F Stakes

Stake: $16,678

BETTERING (2) has strung together a couple of wins at this circuit, the latest on July 11 over 1207m when he scored by one length. Winning rider Oscar Villarreal retains the mount. Stepping up a level this time but on current form he is right in contention. BASSCOAT (3) proved too strong two runs ago at Horseshoe Indianapolis. Less impressive last time out when lost rider over 1609m at Horseshoe Indianapolis,. This doesn't look as hard so he can return to the winners' list. LUMIERE (6) was a gutsy winner last time over 1207m at this track (Dirt), scoring by one length to make it two wins on the bounce. Has a terrific record here with three wins and one minor placings from four starts. One of the contenders. COMMANDO JOE (4) had been rock-solid with four placings in a row before finishing fourth over 1106m at Horseshoe Indianapolis last start.
