Tampa Bay Downs Race 2 - Race 2 - Allowance Optional Claiming
ICELANDER (1) was a strong winner last time over 1408m at this track (Dirt), scoring by 0.8 lengths to make it two on end. Has a strong association with Cipriano Gil who has been in the saddle for his last two wins. Leading contender. MR PENNY PINCHER (2) displayed plenty of early toe and went on to score by 1.75 lengths last time out over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is right in contention. SECRET EMPIRE (5) improved last time out, finishing 1.75 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1207m at this track after being in contention on the turn. Must raise the bar but a win is not out of the question. SKYLOFT (6) lines up on the back of a 4 length fourth over 1207m at this track. Has a strong record here, including three wins from four appearances. Best figures measure up favourably. Something for the Multiples: IMPACTO (8) MR. PENNY PINCHER (2)
