Tampa Bay Downs Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance Optional Claiming
PAYNTER'S PRODIGY (6) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1646m at this track, beaten only 0.8 lengths after being in contention on the turn. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. STONE COLD FLEX (2) recorded a strong on-pace win here last time by a nose over 1646m. Yet to miss the placings at this circuit, including two wins. Leading contender. AMERICAN UNITY (3) produced a good effort last start over this journey at this track (Dirt), scoring by 0.3 lengths. Has a very good record here including three wins from five starts. Winning claims on best figures. GOOD AS HE GETS (7) resumed over 1646m at this track (Dirt) last start and was too good for his rivals, scoring by 0.8 lengths. Fitter for that last hitout and is worth following up.

The race before that scored a big 3 len win at this track March 8 over 1646m defeating My Lucky Angel carrying 54kg at $14.10. Worth thought on latest effort.

At the latest run sat on speed throughout when 3rd of 7 at this track on April 10 over 1408m, 14 len behind Paynted Warrior with 50.5kg at $21. The start before that 7th of 9 at Tampa Bay Downs Turf on March 18 over 1609m, 12 len behind Code Name carrying 54kg at $47.30. Impossible to entertain.

Second run back. First-up after five months won by 0.8 len at this track April 15 over 1646m defeating Street Glide with 54.5kg at $6.70. Previously second-up 5th of 9 at Saratoga on July 4 over 1308m, 12 len behind Fort Nelson with 56kg at $23.10. Hard to tip against him on that sort of form. Improver with winning prospects.
