Ho-hum installment
Of Tampa’s signature race
Earnings up for grabs
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
#1 – Striding Ahead
A Juddmonte prospect
Huge score off a rank debut
Worth spots on tickets
#2 – Economic Summit
A New York snowbird
Hasn’t shown graded stakes chops
Needs a big debut
#3 – Beamer
Finished behind three
That he will face Saturday
Doesn’t jump off page
#4 – Uncle Mo
Chose to face cupcakes
In lieu of graded debut
Cross his number out
#5 – Too Experience
A local fixture
Progressing nicely, hot jock
There’s plenty to like
#6 – Crimson Knight
Wins came in claimers
The air starts to get thinner
Climbing the mountain
#7 – Free Entry
Moving up the ranks
Lone loss is to Uncle Mo
Overlay hazard
#8 – Moonhanger
Big maiden winner
Other efforts are shaky
Hopes are not sky high
#9 – Watch Me Go
Sunshine stakes mainstay
Best efforts came a class down
Nice allowance horse
#10 – Brethren
Derby pedigree
Plowed through shaky opponents
Still seeking first test
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
Predictable tilt
No one touches number ten
Five, one and seven
The Michigan-Bred Claimer
