Tampa Bay Downs Race 8 - Race 8 - Maiden Special Weight
MY BOY STAR (8) started at big odds on debut last start but ran a bold race, finishing third and beaten 1.75 lengths over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Sure to improve and can get off the mark this time. TROUBLEONTHEGREEN (3) is returning from a brief spell and has a first look at a turf track. Opened last campaign with a third at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Dirt) over 1106m. Should park just off the speed. Best figures should see him run well. ONE LAST BULLET (11) finished second, beaten one length, when resuming from a spell last start over 1308m at this track (Dirt) after he was in the firing line on the bend. Tackling a deeper field this time but he is good enough to make a big impact. NEO ZAPPER (2) was in the money at this track (Dirt) when resuming two runs back then could only manage fifth at this track (Dirt) over 1207m two-and-a-half weeks ago. Sits handy in the run. Has ability and rates among the chances.
