Tampa Bay Downs Race 4

Minaret S. Stakes

Prize Money: $178,317

MYSTIC LAKE (1) was strongly fancied when resuming last start but was beaten 3 lengths into third over 1207m in Listed grade at Gulfstream Park (Dirt). Has a strong record when second-up, including two wins, and will strip much fitter for this. Will prove hard to beat. MS BUCCHERO (4) scored by 1.5 lengths last start in Listed grade at Gulfstream Park (Dirt) over this distance after she was in contention on the bend. Form over this journey is strong, boasting nine wins from 15 starts. Drops back in grade. Top chance in this field. SUMMER'S COMIN (2) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at this track (Dirt) over 1207m after being in contention all the way. Must raise the bar but this looks well within her grasp. LONG GONE SALLY (3) pushed forward and was a determined winner by 0.8 lengths over 1408m at this track (Dirt) last time out. Record at this journey is impressive with three wins and two placings from seven runs and cannot be underestimated. Something for the Multiples: MS. BUCCHERO (4)
