Tampa Bay Downs Race 3 - Race 3 - Claiming
FIT TO FIRE (6) was prominent from the outset when second over 1308m at this track (Dirt) last time out. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Best form puts him right in this. WESTMINSTER (3) returned from a spell a month ago when he was beaten 10 lengths into sixth over 1207m at this track. Fitter and sure to run well. MONGOLIAN CHAMP (1) is racing well including a last start eighth over 1646m at this track (Dirt). Among the chances again. CHEQUERA (2) is a last-start winner two-and-a-half weeks ago, scoring by 2.5 lengths over 1408m at this track. Big run is on the cards.

Most recently settled back and ran on when 8th of 10 at this track on March 8 over 1646m, 7 len behind Texas Splurge carrying 54kg at $8.40. The race before that raced on speed throughout when 3rd of 7 at this track on February 20 over 1710m, 4 len behind New Plex with 54kg at $3.70. No threat last time out but this suits.

Second run back. First-up after four months got back early 6th of 8 at this track on March 1 over 1207m, 10 len behind Battle Warrior with 51kg at $6.90. Previously second-up 6th of 8 at Woodbine on July 6 over 1308m, 7 len behind Garden Of War with 55.5kg at $12.45. Even fitter and is an excellent winning chance.
