Wednesday's Best Bet: Sky Mischief ready to rebound at Tampa Bay
by Jarrod Horak
Wednesday’s 8th race from Tampa Bay Downs is an optional claiming event for 3-year-olds dashing six furlongs on the main track (Post Time - 4:30 p.m. ET).
#8 SKY MISCHIEF (5-1) turns back in distance and returns to dirt in his third start after a layoff. He looked good graduating at this course and distance April 1, and should be right there at the finish if he duplicates that race. The $240,000 Keeneland sales grad projects a stalking trip.
#1 Silverly Enough (7-2) exits an optional claiming win at Gulfstream at this distance, and the clear runner-up was a next-out winner. Both of his wins were at six panels, and he should save ground tracking the pace.
#6 Zaino Boyz (2-1) looks like the speed of the speed. The all or nothing colt aired in two of his five starts at this distance, and failed to crack the trifecta in the other three. Daniel Centeno was aboard for his romping local victory in the Inaugural Stakes late last year.
