Tampa Bay Downs Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance Optional Claiming
UNWRITTEN RULE (7) Did well when 2nd last start around here but competing at a higher level of competition. Has run into the money 2 from 2 attempts this preparation. Can get the job done. RAMAJAY (3) Showed a clean pair of heels to win by 2 1/4L last run at Colonial Downs and form has been improving over recent runs. One of the major players. WINE CANDY (2) Competed in a tight contest last start at the track and can find a nice position from the draw. Been in the placegetters each attempt this preparation. Likely to fill a place. ANTRAX (5) First up from a break of 31 weeks and ran 2nd first up last preparation at Colonial Downs. Good career start. Taking on stronger competition. Can fill a place in this field.

Just shy of the win last start at this venue and drawn nicely. Has run into the placings all attempts this campaign but challenged by a tougher grade. Could put in your exotics.
