Tampa Bay Downs Race 1 - Race 1 - Allowance Optional Claiming
EMBRACE MY UNCLE (7) Picked up late to win last run at the track but down in distance. Going well this preparation but facing a stronger group of contenders. Well placed and has solid claims. MARY'S LAD (5) Made ground when closing off to finish 4th last time at Gulfstream Park. Jockey Daniel Centeno consistently rides well for this stable. Should get going late. Must be considered. TROOPS (1) Strong effort to the line to win last run around here and has a nice advantage with a good draw. Should come to hand quickly. Matched against tougher rivals. Has to be included. DOROTEO (3) Ran on strongly when 3rd beaten by almost 10L last start at this track but up in class. Should jump out and bowl along. Among better hopes.

Jumped at 8/1 and sub-standard effort when 6th last run at Gulfstream Park and testing ability against stronger contenders. Has a nice turn of foot. Down in trip. Few more classier types in this race.

Started at 9/2 and showed some merit late when 4th last time at Gulfstream Park. Jockey Daniel Centeno and trainer D Whitworth Beckman are an appealing combination. Will go close.

Backs up quickly. At 22/1 closed off nicely when 4th last run at this venue but stepping up to a higher level. Likely to get back in the run. Very hard to have.

Finished hard to win last run at this track but racing in stronger company. Racing consistently this campaign but back to a shorter trip. Must respect.
