Belterra Park Race 5 - 1m Stakes
CANDLE'S LEGACY (3) First up from a break of 23 weeks and amongst the placegetters when 2nd first up last preparation at Presque Isle Downs. Recent form of William D Cowans is strong. Must be considered. STORM SEARCH (5) Came in 6th last time at Thistledown. Should improve here and going back up in distance. The large claim from Orlando Mojica Jr should help. Live winning chance. BETTY WHO (2) Disappointing effort when 5th last time at the track. Overlooking the last run and back over extra ground. Should race on the speed. One of the better chances. NYKTOS (4) Inched into 5th last run here and having second career run. Will be motoring home late. Looks set to run a place.

Odds of $53.00 and lost ground in the run home when 10th last time around here but was a debutant last start. Has drawn the rails. Will be a difficult test.

Started at $18.00 and mediocre display when 5th last time at the track. Overlooking the last run and coming back up in distance. Has early speed and positions nicely. Suited against these.
