Tampa Bay Downs Race 8 - Race 8 - Claiming
FORTUNATE RYDER (8) turned in a modest performance when ninth last time out over 1710m at this track, beaten 13 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Likely improver with strong prospects. SKY MASTERSON (6) has been thereabouts lately without being able to break through, the latest effort a third at this track (Turf) over 1710m. Looks all set to grab that well-deserved win. MR BUSINESS (4) kicked off this campaign with a win two runs ago. Not as effective last time out when seventh over 1609m at this track, beaten 8 lengths. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. JIBILIAN (5) turned in a better run last start, beaten 1.3 lengths into fourth over 1609m at this track. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.
