Tom Collins analyses the credentials of three favourites in the US

R Kiss Em Goodbye
6.30 Tampa Bay Downs
SP forecast 9-5

Unexposed sprinter who is extremely fast when getting away from the gates in good style – her only two defeats came when she was hampered in the opening stages of claiming contests at Gulfstream. Made all the running to win a 5f dirt contest at that track last time and now debuts here from a wide gate.

Conclusion Has the gears to lead this field a merry dance despite the outside draw.

Hobbs Hope
7.15 Will Rogers Downs
SP forecast 5-2

Ten-year-old mare who has only won three times in her career from 43 starts, so is by no means prolific. Hasn't won a race since November 2016, and although she has dropped down the grades and finished runner-up on her last two starts here, she is not one to have much confidence in.

Conclusion Much prefer the chance of 15-time winner Okie Princess.

Uncork The Bottle
10.00 Tampa Bay Downs
SP forecast 2-1

A rare runner at Tampa Bay Downs for trainer Saffie Joseph jnr, who has had three winners from 12 runners (33 per cent strike-rate) here since July 2019. Uncork The Bottle won his first three outings, including a starter optional claimer at this track in January when he easily beat the reopposing Matty's Express and Valiant Virtue. Highly tried since in Grade 3 and stakes company without success.

Conclusion Should be far too good for this field.
