Tampa Bay Downs Race 1 - Race 1 - Starter Optional Claiming
PRANCIN INTHE DARK (5) Blitzed its rivals when winning by 3L last time at the track and ideal trip as proven previously. Racing for a new trainer. Up against stronger rivals. Honest enough customer who is strongly placed. LA CHISMOSA (2) Dominant winner by a margin of 3 3/4L last time at this track and gets a favourable draw. Samy Camacho and Renaldo Richards command respect as a team. Respect against this field. ELSIE'S SMILE (6) Found another gear when winning by just over 10L last start here. Pedro L Cotto Jr and Kathleen Oconnell are a combination worth noting. Big danger. DRAMA (3) Gave away some ground when 5th last start at Gulfstream Park. Has the ability to turn things around. Has plenty of early speed. Solid place bet prospects.

Had a comfortable win by 3 3/4L last time at this track and can find a nice position from the draw. Challenged by a tougher grade. Reasonable chance.

Jumped at 7/1 and was well beaten when 5th last start at Gulfstream Park. Has the ability to turn things around. Should muster plenty of early toe. Nice value bet.

Won easily by a margin of 3L last time at this track and have to respect the form at this distance. First start for a new trainer. Great chance.

Won by a huge margin of over 10L last start at this track. Pedro L Cotto Jr and Kathleen Oconnell deserve serious consideration as a team. Expecting to settle positively. Good prospects.
