Tampa Bay Downs Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance Optional Claiming
TODDCHERO (8) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by 2.25 lengths over 1207m at Presque Isle Downs (Synthetic). This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is one of the key runners. NESHUME (1) finished seventh over 1106m at Gulfstream Park (Synthetic) last time out following a determined win two runs back. Terrific chance to return to the winners' list. SKYLOFT (9) finished third behind Saxton at Laurel (Turf) over this distance at his latest outing. Yet to be beaten here, scoring three wins from as many starts. Should be competitive. FLUID SITUATION (3) finished 2.25 lengths back in second two back at Presque Isle Downs. Followed it up with a win on turf at this track over 1006m three weeks back. Has a decent record at this track. Too good to ignore.
