Tampa Bay Downs Race 4 - Race 4 - Maiden Claiming
THIRSTED (2) led early and was still in the firing line on the turn last start before tiring to finish fifth over 1308m at Aqueduct (Dirt). This looks a nice race so expect him to be right in the finish. HE'S MY UNCLE (7) improved last start to finish third over 1609m at this track after being prominent at the bend. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. BODY BY CARVEL (4) finished out of the money on debut two starts back then was beaten 10 lengths when fifth over 1609m at this track five weeks ago. Beautifully placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. CLASSIC EQUATION (6) was in contention on the corner and finished third last time over 1710m at this track (Turf), beaten 2.5 lengths. Will trim down following recent racing. In the right race and is a top-three hope.
