Tampa Bay Downs Race 7 - Lambholm South Sophomore Turf S. Stakes
THE TOWN (4) was rewarded with his maiden success last start, scoring by 0.3 lengths over 1609m at Gulfstream Park Turf (Turf). Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Winning rider I Ortiz Jr stays aboard and he is a leading contender. MY FAVORITE BIRD (1) was responsible for a solid effort last time out when second at Gulfstream Park Turf (Turf) over 1609m, beaten 0.8 lengths. Cherry-ripe now. Has been in great form with two victories from four outings this preparation. Sure to go very well. CRUISIN CHUCK (7) accounted for a maiden field over 1609m at Fairgrounds Turf (Turf) last start, finishing 0.8 lengths ahead of the nearest rival. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Re-unites with Hunter Rea who was on board last start. One of the likely contenders despite the step up in grade. MR MO'S MAGIC (3) finished 17 lengths back in eighth in stakes company last time over 1609m in stakes class at this track (Turf). Did win two runs back by 0.3 lengths at this track (Turf). Can sneak into the finish.

Racing well recently. Most recently rolled along in front then was edged out late 2nd of 8 at Gulfstream Park Turf on March 6 over 1609m, 0.8 len behind Ababajoni carrying 55.5kg at $4.70. Before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 1.0 len at Gulfstream Park Turf February 12 over 1710m defeating Ramses The Great carrying 54.5kg at $11.50. Solid run last time and is a strong winning hope again.

Resuming. Finished off last campaign second last in a small field at Gulfstream Park December 6 over 1609m, 2 len behind Timeless Victory with 54kg at $9.90. On debut to post a big 4 len win. Gulfstream Park November 9 over 1609m defeating Witcha Wish carrying 54.5kg at $6.40. Unlikely to threaten.

Dual acceptor. Lining up for just third start. At very big odds at debut, 4th of 12 at Gulfstream Park Turf on January 29 over 1710m, 2.25 len behind Nickel C with 55.5kg at $92. Second-up 4th of 12 at Gulfstream Park Turf on February 27 over 1609m, 1.3 len behind The Town with 55.5kg at $19.20. Better off investing elsewhere.
