Tampa Bay Downs Race 9 - Race 9 - Maiden Special Weight
CELEBRITY WARRIOR (13) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1710m at Gulfstream Park, beaten 4 lengths. Ideally placed and is sure to be there at the finish. SKYWATCHER (12) was close to breaking through last time in work, closing the prep as favourite and finishing third at this track (Turf) before a nine weeks break. Re-unites with Samuel Marin. Hard to beat if back in good order as anticipated. ATI GIRL (4) finished third last time over 1710m at this track (Turf), beaten 3.5 lengths. In the right race and is a winning hope. TAX HOLIDAY (1) is facing the starter for the first time. By Kingman and hails from the Chad C Brown stable. Good draw a big help. Watch the market closely.
