Tampa Bay Downs Race 8 - Race 8 - Handicap
ROLANDO (1) was impressive last time over 1207m at Gulfstream Park (Dirt), scoring by 5 lengths. Should camp just off the leaders. Will give a great sight. ROOKIE CARD (7) resumed over 1308m at Gulfstream Park (Dirt) last time out and showed good speed to lead throughout, scoring by 0.3 lengths. Strong performer at the second run back from a spell with two wins and one minor placings from three attempts. Will prove very tough to beat. CHROME GHOST (4) is close to breaking through following a narrow defeat last time over 1207m at Listed level at this track (Dirt). Drops back in grade. Should measure up in this field. FLOOD ZONE (6) ran third at his latest appearance over 1207m at this track, finishing 2 lengths from the winner. Has an impressive three wins from eight career starts. One of the contenders.

Form hard to fault. Last start favourite; scored a big 5 len win at Gulfstream Park April 5 over 1207m defeating Con Compania carrying 56kg at $2.10. Before that raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 8 at Gulfstream Park in LR on February 21 over 1207m, 6 len behind Jack's Promise carrying 54.5kg at $7.10. Can get the job done again.

Comes off a 36 day let-up. Most recently 4th in a small field at this track on March 20 over 1646m, 5 len behind Embrace My Uncle carrying 54kg at $5. The race before that made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 7 at this track on February 21 over 1646m, 2.25 len behind Swaggish with 51kg at $3.10. Hard to recommend on recent form.

At the latest run won by 14 len at this track April 10 over 1408m defeating Runningforjoy with 53.5kg at $4.20. Before that won by 2.25 len at this track March 11 over 1207m defeating Arrogancy with 53.5kg at $2.70. Might just find this a bit too tough.

Second run back. Comes off a 55-day let-up. First-up after five months won by a 0.3 len at Gulfstream Park March 1 over 1308m defeating American Monarch with 55kg at $4. Previously second-up scored a big 5.5 len win at Saratoga July 19 over 1408m defeating Singleminded carrying 54.5kg at $9.70. Even fitter and is an excellent winning chance.
