Tampa Bay Downs // Race 5 // starter allowance
#9 Journeyman (7-2 ML) // 15% Win Projection
#12 Epic Luck (10-1 ML) // 11% Win Projection
#10 Grounded (5-2 ML) // 10% Win Projection
Comments: A wide-open group just below the top projection #9 Journeyman in this field of 13. The only other runners in double digits from the algorithm offer a nice price chance and the morning line chalk.
Tampa Bay Downs // Race 6 // claiming
#5 Murumbi (2-1 ML) // 21% Win Projection
#1 Calendula (8-1 ML) // 17% Win Projection
#3 Musical Cat (5-2 ML) // 17% Win Projection
Comments: Field of 7 will be where many narrow, but the artificial intelligence dubs this a pretty competitive bunch. #5 Murumbi is the morning line favorite and top win projection, but not in a dominant fashion and may be overbet in the pick 5 due to the field size.
Tampa Bay Downs // Race 7 // maiden claiming
#5 Soupersilverdollar (3-1 ML) // 28% Win Projection
Comments: Clear single here based on the artificial intelligence, rating 14 points higher than the next-closest rival. In the event of a scratch, #1 Fire Baron (14%) and #12 Theregoesmymiracle (12%) are considerations.
Tampa Bay Downs // Race 8 // maiden claiming
#4 Macho Girl (6-1 ML) // 23% Win Projection
#1 Cali Cruiser (7-2 ML) // 16% Win Projection
Comments: One of the best win values on the card from the algorithm comes here with #4 Macho Girl if the morning line price of 6-1 holds. Reasonable argument to single, but trainer Jamie Ness has #1 Cali Cruiser in with a fighting chance.
Tampa Bay Downs // Race 9 // allowance
#2 Take Me to Jimmy (2-1 ML) // 19% Win Projection
#10 Junipero Serra (7-2 ML) // 11% Win Projection
#5 Ready to Fly (8-1 ML) // 11% Win Projection
#9 Hendrickson (6-1 ML) // 10% Win Projection
#8 Dial Him Up (30-1 ML) // 10% Win Projection
Comments: Classic “single or spread” situation with the morning line chalk #2 Take Me to Jimmy a solid 8-point leader over a big clump of runners all getting about the same Win Projection. You’ve got Chad Brown with the favorite off an Aqueduct maiden breaker in a turf allowance. While struggling at Gulfstream, Betmix stats have Brown at 8: 2-0-2 on the turf this meet at Tampa and 5: 2-0-1 in those races when paired with jockey Samy Camacho.
