Belterra Park Race 3

6 1/2F Stakes

Stake: $16,514

IMPROBABLE CAUSE (6) made progress last time out, finishing 6 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1609m at Horseshoe Indianapolis after being in contention on the turn. Won't find this as tough so he is sure to prove hard to beat. MIDNIGHT NOIR (2) turned in a decent effort last start when he did his best work late to finish third over 1308m at this track after being prominent at the bend. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. TUFF HEART (1) finished third, beaten 5.5 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1308m at this track (Dirt) after he did his best work late. In the right race and is a key runner. ROJO SKY (5) raced on the speed from the outset last start and finished third, beaten 7 lengths, over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Finds a tougher race but a big run is on the cards.
