Belterra Park Race 7 - 6f Hcap
SAMURAI SWORD (2) Led throughout when winning by a margin of 3L last run at Thistledown and gets a favourable draw. Has plenty of early speed. Recent form of the stable is strong. Can measure up to this company. EL NOTIONAL (8) Thrashed the field when winning by a margin of almost 8L last start at Thistledown and good career start. Should race on the speed. Matched against tougher rivals. Has to be included. LITTLE TRUCK (1) Bold effort when winning last run at this track and having second race start. Stable is in form and has drawn the rails. Matched against a stronger field. Must respect in this event. RULE THE ROOST (4) Finished hard to win last start at Thistledown and fitter for debut run. Jockey Erik Barbaran is currently in strong form for this stable. Stepping up to a higher level. Each way bet for sure.

Picked up late to win last run here and was on debut last time. Have to respect the recent Larry Lee Smith form and has the ideal draw. Represents value.

Controlled the pace when winning by 3L last run at Thistledown and can find a nice position from the draw. Will be positive in the run early. Chance and can measure up.

Ran on strongly to win last start at Thistledown and having second career run. Erik Barbaran and Robert M Gorham deserve serious attention as a team. Value play.

Caught the eye when 2nd last start at Thistledown but rising in class. Has not missed the placings this campaign in 2 attempts. Can figure in the finish.

Good performance to run into 3rd last time at Thistledown and putting a tidy record together. Has run into the money at every start this campaign. Needs to improve.

Ran on strongly to win last run at Thistledown but facing a stronger group of contenders. Will be trying to topple them late. Respect the betting.

Gave them a lesson when winning by just short of 8L last start at Thistledown and showing consistent performance in races. Should jump out and bowl along. Solid chance.
