Tampa Bay Downs Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance Optional Claiming
WINE CANDY (6) showed little early speed then came with a powerful run to finish third when resuming last time out over 1006m at Gulfstream Park All Weather (Synthetic). Should run on into the finish again. TALLMAR (7) resumes after a break of nine weeks. Trying to repeat his debut win over 1207m at this track to kick off last prep. Solid chance. CADEMAN (5) scored last start at this track (Dirt) to make it two wins from three starts this campaign. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Will be in this for a long way. HE GONE (4) won at this track (Dirt) two starts ago but was below his best at a more recent appearance, finishing fifth over 1609m at Tampa Bay Downs Turf (Turf). Likely improver with top-three prospects.

Comes off a 35 day let-up. At the latest run 5th of 8 at Tampa Bay Downs Turf on February 14 over 1609m, 18 len behind Mr Mo's Magic with 53.5kg at $7.90. The start before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 0.8 len at this track January 17 over 1207m defeating Bod Beach carrying 54kg at $5.50. Can do a lot better than that last run.
