Tampa Bay Downs Race 6 - Race 6 - Starter Optional Claiming
AUTHENTIC WAVE (1) Finished well when 3rd beaten by just over 6L last start at this venue and has drawn to do little work. In top form this preparation but rising in class. Key player. LOLA'S ROMANCE (3) Found another gear when winning by a margin of 4 1/4L last start around here and showing consistent performance in races. First start for a new trainer. Can give this a shake. PRANCIN INTHE DARK (8) Advanced late into 4th last start here but stepping up to a higher level. Looking sharp on the track this preparation. Looks to be value. OH SHEILA (6) Shot clear to win by a margin of 3 3/4L last start here and good career start. Has run into the money regularly this preparation. Should be competitive in this race at a bit of odds.

Hit the line well when 3rd last start at the track and has a nice advantage with a good stall. Running with confidence since coming back from a spell. Strong prospects.

Was $28.00 and subpar when 6th last start around here but will try to take advantage of the stall. Will be facing a significant drop in distance. Cannot have under these circumstances.

Dominant winner by a margin of 4 1/4L last start at this track and putting a tidy record together so far. Has early speed and positions nicely. Rates as one of the key chances.

Was $16.00 and didn't find the line when 7th last start here and coming back in trip. Gets back and needs luck. Large claim helps. Can't have.

Odds of $12.00 and underwhelming when 5th last time at this track but competing in an easier class. Jockey Daniel Centeno and trainer Gerald S Bennett deserve serious attention. Keep safe for trifectas.
