Belterra Park Race 8 - 5F Stakes
JUDGE HERNANDEZ (6) debuts for Wesley A. Ward and looks the fresh angle in a thin maiden claimer. DAVE DID IT (5) brings the best recent figure here with a 2nd at Tampa Bay Downs over 1207m on 31 Jan, then wasn’t far away when 5th over 1106m on 18 Mar after racing handy. STORY CHANNEL (4) has multiple Belterra placings and was 2nd over 1006m here last June, which reads well back to this trip. SAKI BOMB (3) drops to 1005m after a 4th here over 1207m last time and can be kept safe.

Back in trip after two one‑mile runs, he finished 4th of 7 at Belterra Park over 1207m on 2 May, beaten 21.3L in Maiden Claiming 62, settling 6th and improving late. Prior run was 7th of 8 at Turfway Park over 1609m on 19 Mar, beaten 7.1L at $18 behind Du Monde. Four-year-old gelding for Ryan D. Walsh, now drawn barrier 3 with Santiago Gonzalez and no claim. Needs to lift on recent margins but can improve with a soft run from the gate.

First-up after 103 days and drops 2.5kg to 54.5kg with blinkers on. Last start 7th of 8 at Mahoning Valley over 1106m on 2 Feb, beaten 18.4L at $17 on a frozen track. Prior runs included 9th of 9 at Horseshoe Indianapolis over 1006m at $71 and 6th at Aqueduct over 1609m at $51. Needs sharp improvement but can improve fresh with gear change.
