Tampa Bay Downs Race 8

Starter Optional Claiming

Stake: $43,051

SILVER SLUGGER (1) Led and controlled the pace when winning by a margin of 3L last time around here and has the ideal alley. On a winning streak the last 2 attempts. Will go well. GOLDEN JUAN (4) Won with a leg in the air by 8L last run here but will be dropping in distance. Keeping a perfect win record the last 2 attempts. Deserves consideration. SIR ROBERT HALL (5) Led from start to finish when winning by just over 8L last start at this venue. Very competitive this campaign. Genuine threat. BAR DOWN EXPRESS (8) Tidy effort when 2nd last start at this venue. First start for a new trainer. Very competitive this preparation. Large claim helps. Could give some each way value.
