Tampa Bay Downs Race 2 - Race 2 - Maiden Claiming
NEOSTAR (5) missed the frame on turf over 1609m at Tampa Bay Downs Turf two back then filled a minor placing last start on the same surface at Tampa Bay Downs Turf, beaten half a length over the 1006m journey. Alex Gonzalez stays aboard and although yet to win has been in the money on three occasions. Likely to feature. NEOTERIC (6) could only manage sixth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1609m at Tampa Bay Downs Turf, beaten 3.5 lengths after being in contention on the turn. Likely improver with strong prospects. FAIRFIELD BAY (3) finished a 10 length seventh on dirt at Oaklawn Park two back. Switched to turf last time at Tampa Bay Downs Turf over 1609m and again missed the frame, finishing a 7 length seventh. Well placed and can make amends. KISSINTHELADIES (4) could only manage to finish 12th, beaten 28 lengths, at his latest appearance over 1609m at Tampa Bay Downs Turf (Turf) after he was well back on straightening. Looks to be in the right race to figure in the finish.
