Check out my Wednesday (2-25-26) Tampa Bay Downs Race 6 analysis below.

Scratches (race 6): #4 – Twilight Dancer

Updated Tickets After Scratches:

TAM 6 (OC-32k/2x, 4&up, 1 mile 40 yards dirt) – Post Time  3:17 PM ET
Primary – #1 X Y PRIME
Secondary – #5 Digital Ops

Horse Comments:

#1 X Y Prime (3-1) ran into stakes quality foes Grande and Praetor in a distant show finish at Gulfstream Park on Feb. 14, and that was a fast flat mile contest. He is 1-for-5 with three show finishes on dirt and his win was a local extended sprint special weight affair last spring. He should impact the pace from the inside post under leading rider Samuel Marin.

#5 Digital Ops (2-1) seems to prefer longer races and he is off his game for Saffie Joseph, Jr. He placed in the Greenwood Cup (G3) at Parx last year. He returned from a layoff and chased and faded to last of 5 in a dirt route at Gulfstream on Jan. 16. He has won at this trip before and should be forwardly placed under Edwin Gonzalez.
