Tampa Bay Downs Race 8 - Race 8 - Maiden Claiming
NORWEGIAN WOOD (7) Improved to place when 2nd last start at this track and putting a tidy record together so far. Samuel Marin and Juan Carlos Avila are consistently competitive when paired. Must respect. CAJUN HOTTIE (2) Didn't attack the line when 5th last start around here. Can show a better performance this time and has a good draw. Recent form of Benny R Feliciano is strong. In the mix. FASHION MOLL (3) 3yo by Uncle Chuck having initial appearance for Kathleen Oconnell. Watch the market. MOLLY THE GREAT (4) First start at the races 3yo by Girvin for trainer David Vanwinkle. Betting as a guide.

Was $28.00 and lacklustre showing when 8th last time at this venue and coming back in distance. Hasn't fired a shot in 8 runs. Hard to see this being competitive today.

Odds of $7.50 and picked up some late ground when 4th last time here. Expected to settle towards the tail. The large claim from Kleiner A Mejias should help. Watch the betting.
