Tampa Bay Downs Race 9 - Race 9 - Maiden Claiming
HE'S MY UNCLE (13) led and just failed to hang on last start over 1646m at Tampa Bay Downs (Dirt) when well supported to make it four minor placings from eight runs this preparation. Another big run is on the cards. ROYAL MERIT (6) was 21 lengths from the winner in sixth over 1408m at Tampa Bay Downs (Dirt) last time following a minor placing on debut the run before. Should settle up near the speed. Better than the last effort and deserves another chance. MAGNUS GOLD (14) was popular in betting last time out but disappointed in finishing sixth over 1609m at this track (Turf), beaten 4 lengths. Suited in this line up and is among the better hopes. RAY OF LOV (3) was out of the money on debut two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 17 lengths into eighth. Finds a suitable assignment and can find winning form. Something for the Multiples: CHINGU (5) THIS BEAU KNOWS (4)

Lining up for just third start. When well in the market at debut, made ground from midfield; 2nd of 8 at Tampa Bay Downs on February 21 over 1106m, 0.3 len behind Mr In Personal carrying 54kg at $3.90. Second-up second last of 7 at Tampa Bay Downs on March 7 over 1408m, 21 len behind Maykomotion with 54kg at $23.90. Capable of a strong showing.

Three-year-old gelding who is first starter by Neolithic out of Rockandrollqueen. Has the right credentials to run a forward race.
