Tampa Bay Downs Race 9 - Race 9 - Claiming
PASSIONED (2) improved sharply on his sixth two starts back at this track (Dirt) with a win as public elect over 1710m at this track (Dirt) three weeks ago, getting home by 0.8 lengths after being in contention on the turn. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat again in this suitable race. MISSION MIKE (1) made a strong late bid only to just miss last start over 1710m at this track (Dirt). Ready to go one better. DENYING (3) filled a minor placing when fresh from a spell two starts ago. Could not back that up last time when 9 lengths away in sixth over 1710m at this track (Dirt). Can bounce back to his best form. STONE COLD FLEX (5) built on a nice third two starts back at this track (Dirt) with a win as public elect over 1710m at this track (Dirt) four weeks ago, getting home by 1.5 lengths. Looks well placed so expect another big run. Something for the Multiples: EVERDOIT (4)

Last start 5th of 10 at this track on March 8 over 1646m, 9 len behind Mr Squeaky Wheels carrying 56kg at $5.10.

Cannot be ruled out despite a plain effort last time.

Form hard to fault. Returns from a 29-day let-up. Most recently favourite; won by 1.5 len at this track February 14 over 1710m defeating If I Were You with 54kg at $2.70. Before that 3rd of 10 at this track on January 10 over 1710m, 0.4 len behind Bourbon State with 54kg at $3. Definite winning chance. Keep safe.
