Tampa Bay Downs Race 8 - Race 8 - Claiming
REDBIRD NATION (7) is yet to find the frame in two runs since resuming from a spell, the latest when fourth over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Should be peaking now and is ready to win. WESTMINSTER (5) is a five-year-old gelding who is having his first run for the Craig Robert Smith yard. Finished off last campaign with a seventh at Woodbine All Weather four-and-a-half months ago. Hasn't trialled publicly but looks nicely placed. Bold showing expected. NYIKOS (1) got the prize two runs ago at this track. Safely held last time out when fifth over 1207m at this track, beaten 6 lengths after being in contention on the corner. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. LEIGH'S LAST HERO (6) was well beaten and faded right out of it last time at Gulfstream Park All Weather (Synthetic) but gets some weight relief today. Better than last start and may well be worth another chance.
