Tampa Bay Downs Race 9 - Race 9 - Maiden Claiming
GIULIO CESARE (2) started at $2.40 last time and ran below expectations, finishing sixth and beaten 8 lengths at this track (Turf) over 1609m after being prominent at the turn. Finds a nice race and can make amends. MYSTIC ISLE (5) is building towards his maiden success, the latest effort a solid second over 1609m at this track (Turf), beaten 1.3 lengths after being in the firing line on the bend. Ideally placed to break the ice. KING OF THE TRAIL (6) turned in a moderate effort on debut last start when sixth at this track (Turf) over 1710m, beaten 9 lengths. Shapes as one to consider. RED FERN (3) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1710m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. Something for the Multiples: ROCCO'S SPIRIT (7)
