Tampa Bay Downs Race 6 - Race 6 - Maiden Claiming
BLAZING AFFAIR (7) Hit the line well when 2nd beaten by 2 1/2L last run at this venue and solid career start. Been in the money 3 from 3 attempts this preparation. Looks a strong winning hope. MAGGIES BREW (6) Applied plenty of pressure when 2nd last time around here. In top racing shape since coming back from a spell. One of the better chances. TAKE DAT (1) Was well beaten when 8th last run at the track. Can show a better performance this time and has minimal work to do from the barrier. Down in distance. No shock to see a win. NIFTY'S SPIRIT (3) Pushed past some when 4th last start at the track and having second race start. Likely to settle back in the field. Could surprise.

Weakened to finish 8th last run here. Can show a better performance this time and can save some energy from the alley. Has plenty of early speed. Will be around the mark.

Was 27/1 and crept into 5th last time at this venue and will try to take advantage of the gate. Prefers to settle towards the tail. Considering others.

Started 52/1 and made up ground when 4th last start at the track and fitter for debut run. Likely to get back in the run. Prefer in a much weaker race.

Was 52/1 and gave away some ground when 10th last time at this track and coming back in distance. Will be giving the leaders a big start. Priced to finish behind most.

Attacked the line when 2nd last run at this venue and showing consistent performance in races. Been in the placegetters each attempt this preparation. Great chance.
