Tampa Bay Downs Race 7 - Race 7 - Claiming
FORTUNATE RYDER (1) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by half a length over 1609m at this track (Turf). Drawn to take a nice trail just off the speed. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. WAR OF DESTINY (2) finished fourth over 1408m at Woodbine at his most recent appearance on August 16. One of the genuine hopes in the race. DABOOM (6) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with only one victory from 10 starts. Was again denied last start when he found one better over 1609m at this track. Likely contender with strong prospects. SIX FORTYFIVE (4) travelled in a rearwards position and was disappointing over 1609m at this track (Turf) last time out when in the market. That followed a good third the run before. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well.
