#5 – Zip It Scotty = Ships in from Kentucky Downs and makes the turf to dirt switch. Two races  back he finished a game 2nd place effort at Belterra and cuts back in distance. The barn wins 17% with maiden claimers and has the services of John McKee.

#3 – Prince Jersey Town = Speedy son of Jersey Town for Ron Kahles and Eddie Dominguez in the saddle. He is 6/8 ITM at Belterra and drops down in class today. The trainer wins 50% with first time claimers.

#1a – Over It = 3rd off the layoff for trainer Tim Hamm and ships in from Presque Isle off the synthetic surface. 3rd off the layoff the barn wins 25% and adds first time Lasix. This son of Carpe Diem should show some early foot and be near or on the lead.

#4 – King Bing Hawk = A deep closer who comes off a tardy effort but still managed to finish a closing 3rd place effort. – Look for a cleaner trip and a big run from the 1/4 pole to the wire.

#1 – Passion’s Image = Hails from the James Watkins barn and ships in from Fanduel (Fairmount Park). The deep course runners have always done well when coming to Belterra as they are “legged up” and relish the oval. The rail post is winning 21% and drops in class today.

#7 – Smartie Artie = Deep closer making 2nd start off a brief layoff and drops down in class today. Makes the turf to dirt switch and comes off an eventful journey leaving the gate tardy. A clean trip has her right in the mix.

#8 – Minniemorepromises = She’s a closer dropping down the class ladder and shipping in from Churchill. High percentage rider John McKee in the irons and she is 3/4 ITM at Belterra.

#8 – Out of the Mist = Daughter of Tidal Volume dropping in class from the Maiden Special Weight ranks. The trainer wins 21% moving to Maiden Claiming.
