Longshot play Race 7 the 2 Divine Ambition

Race 1
6-8-5-1
Start the racing with a Maiden Claimer 7F. The 6 Reinvested drops from MC30k to the MC7k in second lifetime start while adding blinkers. Had a little trouble in first start and with a clean break and blinkers might be better than these. 8 Be My Charmer is a 4 year old FTS, had a nice 6f work from the gate on the track 11/21. 5 Passionforwinning the probable favorite drops from MC12.5k and turn backs from route to sprint. If the top 2 choices just aren't that good she looks the best of the rest. 1 Chulini has had many chances and has finished behind the 5 in both meetings.
Race 2
7-4-3
The early Pick 4. The 7 Concerted Effort has mixed signals, strong trainer moves at Tampa last year: drops in class 44% win, with F Del La Cruz riding 41%w, and in claiming races below 40K 43% win.Concern is the trainer 0 for 23 Sprint2Route. She did break her maiden in a route wire to wire. 4 Georgetownstyle has been competitive in all races had trouble in last. Drops and stretches out. 3 Bab'sbrickhouse has some Beyer figures in past races that if repeats could take this race. The rest of the field just doesn't look fast enough based off of lifetime or recent form.
Race 3
5-6-3-2
In this 7F 5k claimer, the 5 L P's Tiger. likes the track and distance. Just missed in last going shorter.
6 Annelle has bullet work for drop back into a claimer, won last 2 races when running for a tag. The 3 Anita, another horse that loves the track, gets 10 pound apprentice weight break. Last win was at this distance and track. 2 Bobby's Bell, been off for over 100 days may need a race, but if fires best fresh will be dangerous.
Race 4
7-1-8
The first turf race of the day and the 7 Greeley's World drops in class for Trainer Thomas Proctor a 40% winning move past 2 meets. 1 Spring Zapper gets Lasix first time and drops from MSW to MC in 3rd career start. 8 Despite Her Form goes out for trainer Chapman first time 57% win from 7 starts. Has finished 2nd 3 times from 5 starts.
Race 5
4-9-7
The start of the Pick 5. The 4 Unbridled Heat drops below level of claim 2 back and turns back from route to sprint. Trainer wins 44 % drop in class last year at Tampa. Gets trainer go to rider F De La Cruz41% wins last TBD meet. Not a lot of sprint speed in this race can go to lead or sit just off pace. 9 Cool C Note, don't know much about this trainer but DRF shows a 27% win off the claim, drops to new low. Route to sprint another strong angle for this trainer 38% win. 7 Espresso drops back to level of last win needs a fast pace up front for late rally.
Race 6
1-4-12
Back to the turf to start the late Pick 4. The 1 Zipso Facto  an improving 3 year old, last 3 outs Beyers have risen. Gets rider switch from a bug to one of the top Tampa riders past few meets in Serpa. The 4 Proudroad to Glory just missed in last, comes off a short break, Has won at distance and 2nd best turf Beyer figure. 12 Cloud Scapes is an AE and will need to draw in, but if he does will be huge threat to win. He is the only horse to run a 80+ Beyer. Great work on the 26th. Outside post the only concern.
Race 7
2-9-10-5
2 Divine Ambition has faced better than these in past racing in the ArkDerby Gr1 and the SF Davis Gr3.Makes 3rd start off a layoff. Has won at today's distance. 9 Duty Blues, hasn't won all year but price tag drops in half to 32k. Has won at track and distance. 10 Smooz Talker last was best yet on synthetic. Will be looking to carry that form to dirt in first off the claim 27% win angle for new trainer. Has never won at the 7f distance. The 5 Fifth Street likes Tampa and has won at distance. Steps up in class after being steady in stretch in last. 2nd off the layoff.
Race 8
8-7-9
8 Lori's Store best bet of the day goes out for trainer Proctor turning back in distance from 1 and 1/16 to a mile on the turf. Broke maiden at Tampa at today's distance. comes in fresh off a break with a steady string of works. 7 Sea of Laughter goes out for trainer Graham Motion broke maiden at today's distance on the Tampa turf course. 9 Before You Know It another off the claim for trainer Dane Kobiskie 27% win. Has never won on the turf. been close with one 2nd and two 3rds from three starts.

Race 9
6-8-3
The 6 Artie Ocean, another high percent angle for trainer DaCosta drop in class 44$w, Jock/Trainer 41%. Claimer less than 40K 43% win at Tampa last meet. 8 Wambri, loses rider F Del La Cruz to the choice. Turns back from route to sprint. 3 Dreamboat Charlie, broke maiden in last drops to 16k in first try vs winners.

Cheers!
