Tampa Bay Downs Race 8 - Race 8 - Maiden Special Weight
PEOPLE WATCHING (4) stepped out for her debut over 1207m at Saratoga (Dirt) back on August 31 and finished seventh, beaten 9 lengths. Treat as positive the introduction of Lasix for the first time. INSPIRE COURAGE (11) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1006m at Tampa Bay Downs Turf, beaten 3 lengths. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. PEDITAL (7) stepped out for her debut over 1106m at Ellis Park Turf (Turf) back on August 23 and finished fourth, beaten 0.7 lengths. Anticipating a bright return with Lasix added for the first time. EZE VILLAGE (9) faced the starter for the first time and finished tenth last start at Tampa Bay Downs Turf (Turf) over 1006m, beaten 9 lengths. Plenty of scope for improvement.

Second run back. First-up after two months 4th of 10 at Tampa Bay Downs Turf on March 14 over 1006m, 3 len behind Emblaze carrying 54kg at $13.10. Previously second-up 4th of 8 at Delaware Park Turf on August 28 over 1509m, 1.5 len behind Autonome carrying 53.5kg at $2.10. Even fitter and is an excellent winning chance.
