NEOSTAR (3) Placed 3rd last time at Tampa Bay Downs. Putting up notable efforts since returning from a spell. Knockout chance in this. STRATEGIC WARRIOR (7) 3yo first starter by Not This Time for trainer Mark E Casse. Keep your eye on the market.

Started $11.00 and couldn't maintain the pace when 6th last run at this track but has a positive draw. Dropping in distance. Others make far more appeal.
