Tampa Bay Downs Race 7 - Lambholm South Sophomore Turf S. Stakes
THE TOWN (4) Romped home to win last run at Gulfstream Park and solid career start. Jockey Irad Ortiz Jr is highly regarded and showing improvement in recent outings. No surprise to see a forward showing and one of the main hopes in this race. CHICKEN DANCE (9) Bold effort when winning last start at Gulfstream Park and showing consistent performance in races. Has run into the money all attempts this preparation but testing ability against stronger contenders. Can go on with it. MY FAVORITE BIRD (1) Amongst the placegetters when 2nd last run at Gulfstream Park and has minimal work to do from the gate. Been in the money 4 from 4 attempts this preparation. Could run a race. CRUISIN CHUCK (7) Dashed home to win last time at Fair Grounds and putting a tidy record together. Been in the money each start this campaign. Can't be left out of exotics.

First up from a break of 16 weeks and put a gap on the rest when winning by a margin of 3 3/4L first up last preparation at Gulfstream Park. Slight prospect.

Was $18.00 and fairly underwhelming when 8th last time at this venue and facing a stronger group of contenders. Going well this preparation winning 2 from 4 attempts. Looks hopeful at best.
