Tampa Bay Downs opinions for Sunday, March 21

Race 4: #3 Righteous Ride (8-1)

This is a first-time starter by Mach Ride, who has won with 40% of his firsters from a small sample. Trainer G. Ray Trisler has won with 3-of-6 first-timers and there’s a decent work back in February. Might be ready for jockey Victor Lebron.

Race 7: #3 Early Entry (4-1)

This colt has won previously at this track and returns off a win at Gulfstream Park, a race that has produced three next out winners. Also has a win at this 7-furlong distance. Jockey Luis Garcia should be able to sit in second flight and pounce in the stretch.

Race 8: #4 Extreme Excess (turf only) (10-1) 

This 3-year-old filly take on older females for the first time. She finished third on the grass two back and takes a drop in class for trainer Dennis Ward, who is 14% with jockey Brian Pedroza.

Tampa Bay Downs opinions for Wednesday, Feb. 11

Race 2: #7 Cowgirl Spirit (7-2)

This filly takes a drop in class after a layoff since September. She has three wins at Tampa and is 2-for-2 at 5 ½ furlongs. Jockey Fernando De La Cruz has won on her in the past for trainer Jason Da Costa.

==

Race 8: #8 Double Check (5-1)

Trainer Chad Stewart drops this filly from the MSW ranks to the maiden claimers for the first time and he is 18% with that move. The daughter of Mach Ride gave an even effort in her debut and might show more speed in this spot.
