Tampa Bay Downs Race 5 - Race 5 - Maiden Special Weight
OPERA DE RAVEL (4) showed ability at her only run back on May 18 2024, finishing second over 1710m at Aqueduct Turf (Turf). Sure to have improved so she will prove tough to beat again. TELLNOTALES (2) finished out of the money when fresh from a spell two starts back then was beaten 2 lengths when fourth in a 1673m contest at Gulfstream Park All Weather five weeks ago. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. QUEEN DANCING (3) is a four-start maiden who finished sixth at her most recent outing over 1710m at this track (Turf). Looks to be in the right race to play a big role. VRONTI (5) returned from a spell six-and-a-half weeks ago when she was in the firing line on the corner before being beaten 3.5 lengths into fourth over 1710m at this track. Fitter so expect a better run this time.
