Tampa Bay Downs Race 8 - Race 8 - Maiden Special Weight
NEO ZAPPER (7) finished 11 lengths from the winner in sixth on turf at Tampa Bay Downs Turf two starts back. Missed the frame in another run on turf last time at Tampa Bay Downs Turf over 1609m when 8 lengths adrift in sixth. Well placed and certainly worth another chance. THIRSTED (10) improved last start to finish third over 1609m at Tampa Bay Downs Turf after being in the firing line on the corner. Steps up a level but he is good enough to figure in the finish. JAMALAMADINGDONG (5) went forward when resuming last start over 1207m at this track (Dirt) and held on well for third, beaten 7 lengths. Looks well placed so expect another big run. CUDDY'S LUCKY (8) is a three-year-old gelding on debut by Cajun Breeze from Mollie's Magic who has been a prolific producer including winners at black type level. Promising type who is one to keeps tabs on in the betting.
