Tampa Bay Downs Race 9 - Race 9 - Claiming
OPERA DE RAVEL (9) had a bit on her rivals last time with an impressive 4 lengths win over 1609m at this track (Turf). Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Sure to be in the finish. PHOEBEINWONDERLAND (3) last appeared five-and-a-half weeks ago over 1006m at Gulfstream Park All Weather when she finished fourth. This is her first run for the Jose A Gallegos stable. Should be thereabouts. CARAVAGGIO'S SONG (6) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just once from 13 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when seventh over 1609m at this track, beaten 8 lengths. Finds a more suitable contest and can salute. LADY FROST (1) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at this track (Turf) over 1609m. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time.
