IF I WERE YOU (1) is close to breaking through after three consecutive placings, the latest coming when second over 1m1/4f at this track (Dirt) after being in the firing line all the way. Nicely placed to take this out. TIGRE (6) finished a 3 length third on turf at Tampa Bay Downs Turf in a then followed up with another minor placing on turf at Tampa Bay Downs Turf over 1m two-and-a-half weeks ago. Worth following up back on dirt. VIA DELLA SPIGA (10) will find this easier than last start when he finished sixth over 1m1/4f at this track (Dirt), that effort following on from a minor placing two starts ago at this track (Dirt). Worth including in this easier race. NEW PLEX (3) did a great job to score by 4 lengths over this course and distance last start in a much improved run. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat again in this suitable race.
