Tampa Bay Downs Race 8 - Race 8 - Maiden Claiming
THEY CALL ME SUE (7) ran below expectations last time at this track (Dirt), finishing sixth and beaten 19 lengths starting at $2.90. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. ILLUSTRATION (10) finished third, beaten 4 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Steps up a level but he is good enough to take this out. ASTRIDSHADOWMOON (1) was out of the money on debut two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1308m at this track, beaten 7 lengths into fifth after being prominent at the turn. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. COUNTINGMYBLESSING (4) finished 15 lengths adrift in eighth last time over 1609m at Tampa Bay Downs Turf (Turf) in a disappointing performance. Best figures measure up nicely. Solid top-three prospects.

Comes off a 31 day let-up. Most recently 6th of 8 at this track on March 18 over 1408m, 19 len behind One Last Bullet carrying 54kg at $2.90. The start before that sat on speed throughout when 2nd of 7 at this track on March 4 over 1106m, 3 len behind American Tact carrying 54kg at $2.70. Deserves another chance.
