Saturday at Tampa

[PeteC]

I thought this race was pretty interesting at Tampa today. Lots of horses from different tracks, a router cutting back to seven furlongs and many horses that like to run early.

#1 Early fighter. Last race power line from Haw: 21.1 44 2-hd 1-hd 1-1.5 1-no

#2 Also early, can go 22 or 22.1 at Crc. I'm not too familiar with that track but I think I've heard it is slow, so I think those fractions stack up well against #1.

#3 Early who needs a clear lead. Has been on the lead in 21.2 at Crc and 21.3 at Tam!

#5 Router that likes to sit first or second. Has not faced these faster early fractions before.

#6 Another early who has gone 22.1 at Pha.

#7 Likes to sit first or second and has been there vs a 22.1.

#8 Another early who needs a clear lead.

#9 Another early. he's only won after a clear 2c lead.

That leaves the #4 who has won twice from 4th at 1c and closed from 8th to be a close third. One of those wins was against a 22 1st call at CRC. Not exactly sure how the other tracks compare, but he's done well vs a 22 at other places. Today's pace may be faster than that at 1c but style wise he seems to be a really good fit and he seems reasonably fast.

Any other takes on the race?
