Tampa Bay Downs Race 4 - Race 4 - Claiming
METAPHOR (9) gets a change of rider and has been freshened up since finishing sixth over 1408m at this track (Dirt) last start. Expected to bounce back. KANTHAROS JR (2) performed above expectations last time over 1106m at Gulfstream Park All Weather (Synthetic), getting the prize by 1.3 lengths. Strong chance again today. AWESOME FANTASY (10) showed good speed last time out and fought on well when second over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Should settle on the speed despite the draw. Cipriano Gil stays aboard. Certainly one to consider. MR. SWEETS (1) disappointed last start when out of the placings over 1408m at this track (Dirt), beaten 5.5 lengths. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. Something for the Multiples: LITTLE LUKEY (5)
