PALPITATIONS (2) ran below expectations last time at Tampa Bay Downs Turf (Turf), finishing seventh and beaten 14 lengths starting at $3. Nicely placed to bounce back. R CANDY (8) is building towards a maiden win after minor placings at her last two runs, the latest when third over 1308m at this track (Dirt), beaten 1.5 lengths. V Rodriguez has registered two minor placings when on board. Sure to run well. ROCKIN' LIONESS (3) is a three-year-old filly who was purchased for USD $ 5,500 (Keeneland - USA 2024 September Yearling Sale). Top jockey Arnaldo Bocachica aboard. Watch for leads from market fluctuations. CHARTHENA (1) didn't make an impact at her last run before going for a spell on November 30, finishing seventh and beaten 11 lengths over 1106m at Mountaineer Park (Dirt). Makes plenty of appeal.
