Tampa Bay Downs Race 6 - Race 6 - Maiden Claiming
PEPPAPETE (7) looks close to a win after finishing in the money at both runs, the latest when third at this track (Dirt) over 1106m. Well placed and can take this out. THEY CALL ME SUE (3) went forward last start over 1408m at this track (Dirt) and held on well for third, beaten 3.5 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. MORE THAN CUTE (4) is a seven-start maiden who filled a minor placing at Gulfstream Park All Weather (Synthetic) at the last run before spelling. Can pick up where he left off. Among the chances while fresh. TITANIO COCO (2) was beaten 18 lengths into 11th over 1006m at Gulfstream Park All Weather last time out. Finds a nice race and can make amends.

Having third race start. When well in the market at debut, sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 8 at this track on January 31 over 1207m, 1.3 len behind Giggity carrying 54kg at $3.60. Last start 3rd of 8 at this track on February 21 over 1106m, 1.5 len behind Mr In Personal carrying 54.5kg at $6. This race is well within his grasp.
