Race 7
5 Two Spot Club – Won handily at the condition in Dec, slight cut back in distance can help
3rd
6 Remember Shirley – Centeno opts off the Ness horse??!! Probably a good reason
4th
7 Native Dress – 3 of 3 in the money at the distance – figures with these SCR
4 Photo Image – Ness; 32% on the cutback, 30% turf to dirt – can never leave him off a ticket
WON
2 Another Month - Draws Rosemary on the late jock switch; should take to the cutback in distance; Nice bullet last week should have her tight and ready to pounce
2nd
Race 8
4 Tight Precision – Velez aboard again after the heatbreaker last time
WON
8 Dixiana Darling – Joan Scott’s Meadowlake firster shows a ton in the morning
2nd
6 Omniti – Zayat/Mott/Centeno; no match for Moonshine Alice last time, better placed here
3rd
1 Lethal Quality – KOC first start from the McGauhey barn; certainly enjoys Tampa in the morning, watch out if the pace falls apart

OFF the TURF - edit for off turf....
2 Beaufort 3rd
1 Jim’s Smokin Pinot - tough stretch run last, gutsy closer figures
4 Bachicho

Race 10
11 Go’ Xango – Craig Phillip can not screw this up – break out the champagne for his first victory of the meet (and I get to change my sig
)
6 Sweet Notes – Lrl invader seems to have all the form, and the drop to 12.5 may be just the ticket SCR
12 Cruise to the Moon – Tough post, but not much here – 3rd off the layoff for Monte Thomas tried to menace in the slop last time, should be close the front by the stretch to watch CPF coming back to him
5 Fresh Call - pretty bad when a 22 time maiden is the best of the rest...goes to show how poor this field is
