Tampa Bay Downs Race 5 - Race 5 - Maiden Claiming
GRAND LIAM (9) resumes in a similar race to his only run last prep back on December 13 when second, beaten half a length. Has managed five minor placings from six runs at this circuit. Sure to go well. NEOSTAR (8) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 1207m at Tampa Bay Downs (Dirt) after being in contention all the way. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role. MADCAP (7) was unplaced on the dirt when fresh at Tampa Bay Downs then followed up with a sound second, again on dirt, at Tampa Bay Downs over 1646m when beaten one length. Great chance on his return to turf. XIAO LONG (12) made progress last time out, finishing 7 lengths from the winner in third over 1609m at this track. This looks a good race for him so another forward showing looks likely. Something for the Multiples: LAST BOTTLE (1)
