Tampa Bay Downs Race 2 - Race 2 - Maiden Special Weight
ALBUS (1) was close to a maiden win before a three months break, finishing off with a placing over 1710m at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Can pick up where he left off. Can make a winning return. SUJO (7) wasn't far away on debut last start over 1106m at Laurel (Dirt), finishing fourth and beaten 5 lengths. Improver who looks a major player. WOODSTER (5) was out of the money when resuming two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1609m at Gulfstream Park Turf, beaten 4.5 lengths into sixth. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. ARGENT HEIR (2) is a three-year-old colt on debut by Silver State from Firsthand Report who has been a fine producer including winners at black type level. Comes out of the the strong juvenile stable of Todd Pletcher. Promising type who cannot be left out of calculations.
