Tampa Bay Downs Race 9 - Race 9 - Maiden Claiming
WHISKEY WHIM (8) Disappointing effort when 7th last start at this venue. Samuel Marin and Juan Carlos Avila have a high strike rate together. Always seems to find the line well. Winning claims. MIAMI STYLE (4) Hit the line well when 2nd last time at the track and displaying improvement over the past few runs. Can give this a shake. ONE THAT I LOVE (9) Initial race appearance 3yo by Win Win Win for trainer Pablo R Torres. Betting is the best guide. BERNIE RULES (6) Debutant 3yo by Three Rules for Robert G Smith. Watch the market moves.

Good result placing 3rd last time here and has a nice advantage with a good draw. Expecting to settle positively. Should be in the finish.

Started $18.00 and weakened under pressure when 7th last start at this venue but will try to take advantage of the gate. Has early speed and positions nicely. Prefer a race with softer competition.

Jumped at $18.00 and gave away some ground when 7th last start at the track. Not at all out of this race.

Hit the line well when 2nd beaten by 1L last time around here and on an upward trajectory in recent races. Good enough chance at a very tempting price.

Was $4.33 and mediocre display when 7th last start here. Jockey Samuel Marin and trainer Juan Carlos Avila are usually competitive when they team up. Possesses good finishing speed. Strong competitor.

Started at $43.00 and didn't threaten when 7th last start here. Should muster plenty of early speed. Yet to trouble the judge in all runs. Rough hope.
