Monday’s American Horse Racing Tips

Progressive form in recent starts getting back to his best to win over track and trip in December and then showed a good attitude to prevail dropping back to 7f last time; hard to oppose if in the same form and should win.

It's a busy start to the week Stateside on Monday night and I'm off to Aqueduct for my best bet. WUDDA U THINK NOW is chasing a hat-trick and eyeing up his fourth win of the season and looks well placed to do so. This step back up to a mile is firmly in his favour and he really should be beating this field as it is no tougher than what he has been facing recently. Dr Ardito is the unknown quantity having won 5 in a row now but he goes up in grade again and that will definitely test his credentials further. Looks the danger but I'm confident the selection can outgun him. Bankit made a winning return but was only third behind the selection last month and has ground to make up on that form. Sea Foam has gone off the boil and is more exposed than most so will likely prove vulnerable.

Likeable type who has won 3 of his last 4 starts and never looked like getting beat over 6f here last time; back down half a furlong in trip which will probably suit if anything judging by the way he bossed them last time; hard to oppose.

This looks a great chance for DUKE OF DARKNESS to make it 4 wins from his last 5 starts. He was nicely on top at the finish last time and a repeat of that should suffice as this actually represents an ease in grade. Uottalikeit is on a four-timer and is unexposed but strictly on the clock I don't think he'll be able to dictate like he did last time and if he doesn't get the lead who knows if he'll be capable of coming from off the pace. It definitely looks between the top pair though. Shanghai Prince is on a hat-trick but this is tougher than what he has been facing whereas the top 2 are easing in grade so should be up against it. Deceitful Anthony showed a good attitude to prevail by a neck last time but that was at a lowly level and this is much more competitive. Garrett hasn't won so far this season but has creditable form to his name so might go well but likely still vulnerable for win purposes.
