Tampa Bay Downs Race 9 - Race 9 - Claiming
FLY THE W (8) was narrowly beaten at his latest appearance at Gulfstream Park Turf (Turf) over 1609m ten weeks ago. Rates highly and makes plenty of appeal. SPANISH NOBLE (10) was responsible for a solid effort last time out when second at this track (Turf) over 1710m, beaten 0.3 lengths. That run should have him rock-hard fit now. Hard to beat. LORD KNOWS (6) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when fourth, beaten 2.75 lengths, over 1710m at this track (Turf) after he was prominent at the corner. Has never been out of the placings at the third run in and looks a clear threat. SMART STRIKER (1) bounced back last start and scored by 0.3 lengths over 1710m at this track (Turf). Suitably placed so anticipating another big run.
