Tampa Bay Downs Race 9 - Race 9 - Allowance
GONCORA (2) is a promising galloper who won at his last run before a break a year ago over 1710m at this track (Turf). Has never missed the frame when fresh from a spell in two starts. Drawn to enjoy a good run on the speed. Best figures should see him run well. DOUBLE NEAT (8) made it two wins on the bounce last start when he scored by 0.1 lengths over 1509m at Gulfstream Park (Turf). This looks a sterner test than last time but on current form he is capable of testing his rivals. GROOT (11) is a four-year-old import having his first run for the Craig Robert Smith stable. Has not raced since he finished off last campaign with a win over 1106m at Woodbine nine weeks ago. Hasn't trialled publicly for the new connections but he is a definite winning chance. CHARLES J (6) never really threatened when resuming last time out, finishing midfield and beaten 6 lengths over 1609m at this track (Turf). Expected to do far better this time.

Is first-up after a break of a year and has been in the money when fresh before. Finished off last preparation post a big 5 len win. This track February 1 2025 over 1710m defeating Atlal carrying 54kg at $1.30. Previously first up; second of 10 at this track January 3 2025 over 1710m, 0.5 len behind Relative Value carrying 54kg at $2.80. Could prove too smart for these.

Last start 5th of 9 at this track on January 24 over 1609m, 2.75 len behind Eldest Son with 55kg at $10.50. The run before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 1.5 len at this track December 24 over 1609m defeating Persisten carrying 53.5kg at $2. Preferred in something easier.
