Tampa Bay Downs Race 7 - Race 7 - Claiming

RIDING A DREAM (6) was an impressive winner last time over 1207m at this track (Dirt), leading throughout and putting 2.5 lengths on his rivals. Has a strong record at this course, scoring four times from six starts. Expected to be in the finish. PAYNTED WARRIOR (3) ran well below his best last time over 1207m at this track (Dirt), beaten 6 lengths into fourth at $5.10. Last run worth forgiving. Can atone. SWEN (8) turned in a fine effort to win by 3.5 lengths at today's course and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. Taking on a better line-up this time but he is good enough to play a major role. OLD TOWN ROAD (1) missed the placings two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 11 lengths away in eighth over 1207m at this track. Worth noting Jesus Suarez goes aboard. Finds a nice race and can make amends.

Racing well recently. Last start scored a big 3.5 len win at this track January 31 over 1207m defeating Harper's Afleet with 53.5kg at $6.90. Before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 11 at this track on January 17 over 1408m, 2.5 len behind David's Songs with 53.5kg at $3.30. Got the job done last time and is a leading hope again.
