Tampa Bay Downs Racing Analysis — Wednesday, January 23, 2019, by Mark Marino

Race 1
3-Pudding
Takes a big drop in class for the leading barn at the meet. 
5-Mr Ducati
Midwest invader is a first time gelding. He has run some races that will fit vs these. 
6- Enduring Arch
Is 0-34, and as such not one to take on top. He did run well vs lesser last out and keeps Centeno. 
3-5-6

Race 2
7-Nerve line
Best races have been over this track. He gets a nice outside post for a nice stalking trip. 
1-Pure Gemmz
All three wins have come over this track. He keeps Camacho, but will have to deal with the rail, which can be tricky gong 7 furlongs.
4-Romancin N Dancin
Can pick up the pieces at a good price.
7–1-4

Race 3
5- Orecchiette
Is the one to beat. She’s coming out of better races and should get a good trip stalking the pace.
7-Costal sea
Looks like an intriguing play here. She gets back to sprinting for new connections, and has won 2 of 3 going this distance.
9-Fly
Comes from the hottest barn in the country, gets Gallardo aboard, and should be coming late. 
5-7-9

Race 4
5-Princess Jules 
Ran well off the layoff, but just couldn’t catch the winner. Any improvement at all will have this gray right there. 
7-Burkey’s Babe
Finally broke her maiden after 11 starts last out. She keeps Camacho, and Terranova has been on fire all meet. 
2-Lady and me
This deep closer ran well last out. She loses Camacho to the 7, but gets Centeno. The only caveat: will need some pace to run into. 
5-7-2

Race 5
2-Sophie Antoinette 
Is going to be a big price here, but she has made a middle move in both races so far. If she’s allowed to sit and make one run, she could run big. 
3-Chancetheracer
Ran too good to lose first out, now gets on the turf. I don’t think you’re going to see close to 7/2 on this one. 
7-Blowout
Firster from the powerhouse Chad Brown barn, which had a debuting winner last week with Gallardo up. This one is bred up and down to be good.
2-3-7

Race 6
5-Flash Attack
Two for two over the track. He does get a negative barn switch, but has been working well. 
1-Mr Lightning Boy
Broke bad last out, so you can draw a line through that effort. Now, he drops in class and should be the speed of the race. 
2-Devine Ambition
Tough old gelding runs his heart out every time, and has enough speed to get a good trip. 
5-1-2

Race 7
3-Wetumka
Ran well first time over the track, now takes a drop in class and should be right behind the speed. 
1-Lil Commissioner
First start for the Navarro barn and gets Centeno. Enough said. 
6- Union Ranks
Loses Centeno to the rail horse, but picks up Camacho, and should be running late. 
3-1-6

Race 8
No opinion

Race 9
5-Hello Annie 
Tough race to play the favorite. She looks best here, takes a drop in class, and the previous races are good enough to beat this field.
2-Cholita Star
Gets more distance and should be picking up the tiring speed late.
9- Gifted Path
Is 0-10 and has squandered some perfect trips. Now goes back to sprinting and gets a nice outside post. 
5-2-9

Race 10
6-Blessed at Mass
Comes out of the same race as a few of these. Ran well at a big price last time, and any improvement puts him right there. 
7-Nephew Howard D
Ran to well to lose last out. Keeps Camacho aboard, but it’s tough to take on top at a short price. 
1-Smart But Foolish
New face in town has run some good races over this track. He likes to settle for minor awards.
6-7-1
