MR FUNTASTICO (8) finished second, beaten 0. 8 lengths, when resuming from a lay-off last start over 1m1/4f at Tampa Bay Downs (Dirt) after he was in the firing line on the bend. Likely improver with winning claims. ALRASIKH (4) finished third on turf over 1m1/2f at this track in a then filled another minor placing last start on dirt over 1m1/4f at Tampa Bay Downs. Proving a good combination with Gabriel Maldonado with three straight placings. Expecting a bold showing. NO MERLOT (3) resumes from a lay-off of four months and is having his first outing under new trainer Michelle Hemingway. Finished fourth at Saratoga (Dirt) over 1m1f at the opening run last time in work. Solid top-three hope. SPEAKER'S LOBBY (10) could only manage to finish fourth, beaten 4 lengths, at his latest appearance over 1m1/2f at this track (Turf). Rates highly in this field and can turn things around.
