Tampa Bay Downs Race 2 - Race 2 - Maiden Claiming
R WINCHESTER (2) Got going late when 4th last start here and will try to take advantage of the draw. Has shown early pace in races to date. Suitably placed in this race. GHOSTWRITER (4) 4yo by Ghostzapper having first start for trainer Kathleen Oconnell. Good to see Cecily Evans is jumping on. Watch the market. ASTRIDSHADOWMOON (6) On a quick turnaround. Good result placing 3rd last run at this track. Has early speed and positions nicely. Ticks plenty of boxes and looks like value . NEOSTAR (7) Came on strongly when 2nd last run around here. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Looking sharp on the track since resuming from a break. Possesses the talent and has some chance.

Grabbed towards the finish when 3rd beaten by more than 8L last start around here and has drawn to do little work. Shows good early pace. Will need everything to go right.

Jumped at $4.33 and picked up some late ground when 4th last start at the track and has a positive barrier. Likely to be well placed early. Will be there at the business end.

Attacked the line when 2nd last run at this venue. Should muster plenty of early toe. In top form since coming back from a spell. Large claim helps. Respect the betting.

Had a break from racing and returns to competition. Was $43.00 and just average when 9th last run at Gulfstream Park but having second career run. Hard to recommend.
