Tampa Bay Downs

18:15

Runners: 8 Distance: 1m 0f 110y Going: Firm

Form
EW Places: 1/5 ODDS - 3 PLACES

Verdict: IMMENSE FAITH is a firm selection. He will be in the wings should the leaders go off too fast. Vino Couragio and Quistmer can't be ruled out either.

In The Blue

Jockey: Raymond Torres Trainer: Jose Alvarado Age/Wt: 5/8-12 F: 799-8

Comment: Hasn't really fired since his success in a maiden claimer at Gulfstream Park in August; held in eighth over 7f here (claimer) on debut for new trainer last Saturday; makes limited appeal.

Coastal River

Jockey: Cesar Gonzalez Trainer: Gary Ellebracht Age/Wt: 4/8-5 F: 6-65816

Comment: Has taken a step forward the last twice; has won here before; behind Cucuy over 1m here (claimer) when beaten 12l (sixth of nine) 14 days ago; easy to oppose.

Cucuy

Jockey: Sonny Leon Trainer: Kathleen O'Connell Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 0-8152

Comment: Producing consistent form; possesses winning form at this track; on the premises when runner-up of nine with Coastal River just behind 14 days ago in a claimer.

Iconic Rock

Jockey: Sara Hess Trainer: Alejandro Mendieta Age/Wt: 4/9-0 F: 23218

Comment: Finished tailed off last week on his debut for new trainer in a starter allowance; shown recent signs of improvement; a course winner; may have to settle for supporting role.

Immense Faith

Jockey: Samuel Marin Trainer: Reynaldo Yanez Age/Wt: 5/8-12 F: 3388

Comment: Finished eighth, beaten 8l, two weeks ago in a claimer; claiming value now drops to $8k; can make his presence felt as peak figure in the past year is the best in the field and he was third three runs ago.

Shipwreck

Jockey: Gabriel Maldonado Trainer: Peter Knoll Age/Wt: 8/8-12 F: 88-74

Comment: Far from disgraced (beaten just under 5l) here over 1m (claimer) last month; form could be levelling off.

Vino Couragio

Jockey: Israel Rodriguez Trainer: Teresa Connelly Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 4-6169

Comment: Finished last of nine 23 days ago in a claimer; track has proven suitable before; eased in class with tag standing at $8k here; tries dirt for the first time; must be high on list if in the same form he showed when winning three starts back.

Quistmer

Jockey: Melissa Iorio Trainer: Teresa Pompay Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 8-86

Comment: He can be competitive at this level; not disgraced in sixth in a claimer in January; one to note as shown he can get his head in front.
