Tampa Bay Downs Race 4 - Michelob Ultra Challenger S. Stakes
DISCO TIME (2) tackled the Pegasus World Cup over 1811m at Gulfstream Park last time out when fresh from a spell and was beaten 11 lengths into eighth by Skippylongstocking. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Best form puts him right in this. SOLO VENTURI (6) has two wins and two minor placings from six runs this preparation. Scored last start by 2.25 lengths at Gulfstream Park (Dirt) over 1710m after being up on the pace all the way. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is one of the key runners. DISRUPTOR (1) was too good when resuming in an easier race over 1408m at this track (Dirt) last start, scoring by 3.5 lengths. Was a winner at the only previous second-up run and looks a big threat to the top selection. RACING DRIVER (7) ran a better race last start, finishing 9 lengths away in fourth over 1609m at Gulfstream Park. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.
