Monday’s American Horse Racing Tips

Promising type who improved again to get his head back in front over track and trip on penultimate start last month; good second over C&D again last time; looks well placed to resume his progress here.

Great chance for HIP HIP HOORAY to get back to winning ways tonight. He won over C&D and then was a good second to another nice horse in Ohio Player earlier this month. This looks easier to me and I think he'll take full advantage. Reinvestedinterest should go hard from the off so he'll have a target to run down in the closing stages as he wouldn't want it to turn tactical in any way. Chaco Spirit was impressive last time but in a much easier race and he'll have more on his plate here. Blood Moon has run well the last twice and was only beaten narrowly into second last time so if building on that might be a bit of value to place. Reinvestedinterest is a danger too but he might go too hard and be vulnerable in the closing stages. War Novel is interesting but might just need this first run back.

Improving colt who caught the eye getting within a neck on reappearance, showing a good attitude off the bridle; improved going down half a length over track and trip last time; very good chance to go one better now.

I'm expecting SWEET SAVANT to prove hard to beat here. He has only had the 7 starts and has gone very close the last twice and is knocking on the door now. He only missed half a length over track and trip last time and if he improves again which I'm pretty sure he will then he should deservedly get his head in front. Inesperado has some creditable form to his name and might be the danger if managing to progress again. Royal Air Force was a place behind the selection last time and was also held prior to that so definitely has work to do to reverse that form. Impassioned Claim shaped well on debut before fading and should strip fitter and might be a bit of value to rattle the frame. Dodger Blue also has form that ties in with the selection but that probably leaves him vulnerable.
