Tampa Bay Downs Race 2 - Race 2 - Maiden Claiming
R DELRAY (8) resumes after failing to impress on debut running 4 lengths behind The Golden Gorilla at Gulfstream Park (Dirt) over 1207m. Rates as a strong chance today. NORTH SHIP (3) was beaten just 0.3 lengths last start when second in a small field over 1207m at this track (Dirt) at the first run of the campaign. Has a decent record at this trip with five minor placings from six tries and is among the leading chances. YES I'M JESS (1) finished out of the money when fresh from a spell two starts back then he was always well out of his ground and was beaten 19 lengths when eighth over 1609m at this track four weeks ago. Ideally placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. NEOSTAR (6) is third up today. Turned in a better run last time when third, beaten 4 lengths, at this track (Dirt) over 1207m. Among the better chances.
