Friday Racing Picks: Tampa Bay Downs

Race 1 - PICK: Drive In

- Chad Stewart's Drive In took a step forward from race one to two and if she can do the same for today's third race on the track she'll take some stopping 

Race 2 - PICK: Fifth Of November

- The selection hadn't showed a great deal in his first five career starts, but certainly stepped up when third over track and trip last time out. He's going the right way and could well be overlooked in the market

Race 3 - PICK: Never Have I Ever

- Larry Rivelli's four-year-old hasn't sparked to life yet in 2020, but with the barn in red-hot form and this drop in class in his favour he can recapture some of his form from last year and return to the winner's podium

Race 4 - PICK: Born To Groove

- Born To Groove is less exposed than most in this field and is slowly going the right way. She can pick up her first win today

Race 5 - PICK: One More Drink

- One More Drink will be a popular winner for his name alone, but this consistent performer definitely deserves a win after a string of very solid efforts in defeat. This looks a great opportunity to break his maiden with none in the field looking too dangerous

Race 6 - PICK: Sky D

- Ian Hemingway has not had Sky D too long, but he'll be hopeful that this drop in grade will see his new recruit off the mark at the first time of asking. It's a competitive race, but he's contested better races than this in the past and could outclass these rivals

Race 7 - PICK: Tale Of V K

- Few arrive into this race in such good form as Tale Of V K who's taken to make it a hat-trick of wins with the slight drop in trip no concern

Race 8 - PICK: Hold The Spice

- Hold The Spice ended last season with a win and ran a really encouraging race first time out (at odds of 20/1) when third over track and trip in February. He'll be tough to beat with that run under his belt
