Tampa Bay Downs Race 9 - Race 9 - Claiming
BIRDIE ROSE (5) resumes from a spell of four months and is having her first outing under new trainer Jose A Gallegos. Finished sixth at Ellis Park Turf (Turf) over 1609m at the opening run last time in work. Hard to beat despite the layoff. QUADRA (1) finished 12 lengths behind the winner in seventh over 1710m at this track (Turf) last start after lifting strongly to score two runs back. Should be poised just off the lead. Expected to be in the finish. CHEEKIEST (8) has not won for a long while. Last raced on April 17 when beaten 14 lengths into fifth at Gulfstream Park All Weather (Synthetic) over 1811m. Perfectly placed and is sure to give this a mighty shake. TIKI BAR (3) finished 9 lengths back in sixth over 1710m at this track (Turf) last time out after a gutsy win two runs back. Can feature on her best form.
