Tampa Bay Downs Race 2 - Race 2 - Maiden Claiming
SO GRAND (7) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing second last time out over 1106m at Gulfstream Park All Weather (Synthetic). Beautifully placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. UNIQUE POWER (5) returns from a spell of five months and is having his first run for a new yard. Finished seventh at Del Mar (Dirt) over 1609m when first-up last time in work. Leading hope and should be tough to stop. COMMANDER'S COIN (2) progressed nicely last time out at the second run of the campaign and finished just 1.3 lengths from the winner in second over 1408m at this track after being in the firing line on the corner. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. FIRST ACT (6) finished third last start at the first run back from a spell over 1207m at this track (Dirt), beaten 2.5 lengths. Should take a lot from that hit-out. In the right race and is a top-three hope.

Returns from a 37-day let-up. Last start 8th of 10 at this track on January 9 over 1646m, 14 len behind Take Your Medicine carrying 55.5kg at $9. The run before that 7th of 11 at this track on December 31 over 1207m, 26 len behind Cyberbeast carrying 56kg at $11.90. Doesn't look good enough to threaten the top few.

Form hard to fault. Comes off a 29 day let-up. At the latest run held ground to the line 2nd of 9 at Gulfstream Park All Weather on January 17 over 1106m, 1.3 len behind Lodato with 56kg at $3.40. The race before that crossed from a wide gate to settle just off the pace but gave ground when 3rd of 11 at this track on December 17 over 1308m, 6 len behind Silver Ore with 54.5kg at $6. Progressing well and a win is on the cards.
