Tampa Bay Downs Race 5 - Race 5 - Starter Allowance

THE BEST DISTANCE (4) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by 0.3 lengths over 1646m at Tampa Bay Downs (Dirt) as favourite. That continued the good form this campaign, with eight wins and three minor placings from 19 starts. Sure to go well again. ELDEST SON (6) found plenty to get the prize by 0.8 lengths three runs back at this track (Turf) before filling a minor placing at his last two starts. Form at this track is solid. Leading contender. JOURNEYMAN (9) ran a better race last start to finish a close third over 1710m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Looks well placed so expect another big run. POST COMMAND (8) ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 2213m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Best efforts measure up so capable of another big run.

Back from a spell. Finished off last preparation second in a small field at Presque Isle Downs October 16 over 1673m, 2 len behind Swiss Slang carrying 56kg at $2.90. First up last campaign ran last of 10 at this track March 2 2025 over 1710m, 17 len behind Signator carrying 53.5kg at $11.20. This looks a stern test.

Recent form sound. Most recently made ground from midfield; 2nd of 9 at this track on March 21 over 2213m, 0.3 len behind Ready To Fly with 53.5kg at $5.90. The run before that 4th of 9 at this track on February 21 over 1811m, 2.75 len behind Ready To Fly carrying 53kg at $6.40. Not far off the winner latest and looks a genuine hope.
