Tampa Bay Downs Race 6 - Race 6 - Maiden Claiming
RAGS TO LACE (7) returned last time with a solid second at this track (Turf) over 1710m after being in the firing line on the bend. Facing a tougher assignment but he is capable of a big run. MEGACLES (1) finished sixth when resuming two runs back then did a good job last start but found one better over 1710m at this track, beaten only 1.5 lengths after being in contention on the corner. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. THIRSTED (8) finished 8 lengths from the winner in fourth last start over 1710m at this track, an improvement on his fifth at Aqueduct the run before. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. HOTTER THAN DEM (11) was out of the money two runs back when fresh from a spell then again missed the frame last start over 1710m at Gulfstream Park All Weather, beaten 10 lengths into sixth. Well placed to make amends.
