Tampa Pick 4 - 12/26

[Bigsmc]

Horrifying...MCL8k, Dated Nickel, N2L, N2L, N2L, Clm16k, N2L, Clm25k, Clm6.25k, Mcl12.5k...classic Tampa midweek card....right up my alley....

Race 7: Clm 16000N2L 7.0f Dirt

5 - Essence of Time - First time in for a tag since her debut victory for Lynne Scace/Pedro Cotto duo. Her only trip around the Tampa oval resulted in a nice 2nd place finish off a 1.5 year layoff.
4 - Ontherockswithsalt - Wild Wonder filly sports her only career victory at Tampa. Bullet on the 20th signals her readiness.

Race 8: Clm 25000 Abt 8.5f Turf

5 - Couple Whiles - Should a hot pace ensue, here is the benfactor. 3 for 9 over the Tampa blades.
10 - Starlet Sky - Ultra consistant Dale Bennett mare. Should sit a stalking trip.
1 - Miltos Express - Should the aforementioned hot pace not materialize, this one can steal it on the front end for last year's leading trainer, Jamie Ness.

Race 9 - Clm 6250 7.0f Dirt

6 - Brassie Prince - Goes for three in a row for the white hot Mike Dini.
3 - Native Match - Wire to wire candidate with a bit better break than last.
10 - Coleridge - Easing back down to his proper level. Draw a line through his last effort (two turns = too far).
2 - Barney Smith - Old war horse should be running well late in his second attempt over the Tampa sand.

Race 10 - MCL 12500 6.0f Dirt

10 - Brome - Fired two bullets since his arrival. Not many horses at this level can do that.
4 - Buddha Pass - Working very well in Ocala for his debut. Doesn't have to be much to compete with these.
5 - Red Falcon - Has the look of a career maiden, Catalano couldn't get him into the Chicago winners circle, so it is an uphill battle for Slomkowski to get the job done.
