Thursday’s American Horse Racing Tips

Improving filly who showed a good attitude to go close on debut over track and trip and then improved in defeat when denied just a length closing at the line last time; open to further improvement and should open her account now.

I'm keen to side with JUBASLILBALLERINA at Charles Town overnight. She has caught the eye on both starts and with further progress should be going one better now. She was closing at the finish last time having been held up and should be more streetwise this time. The danger is probably Our Great Notion who was a place behind the selection on debut and will likely improve too but work to do to reverse that form. Dreamy Sonde is the dark horse in here making her debut but unless the market spoke hugely for her I think the selection should put her experience to good use. Patti Blue Eyes is more exposed than those mentioned but does have a couple of solid bits of form so should get competitive at least. Polish The Diamond didn't shape badly last time but this looks to be a bit tougher than that.

Promising colt who really impressed making the breakthrough over C&D 3 starts back and then won head in chest on penultimate start, crossing the line 7 lengths in front; beaten less than a length in a better race than this latest; hard to oppose.

Great chance for the improving FLAG to get back in the winners enclosure. He has won 2 of his last 3 and acquitted himself well in a better grade last time. With further progress on the cards he should have all the answers here. Gandi is more exposed but he has a tendency to finish second and that would be worrying. I'm not sure he puts it all in at the finish. Kefi is another one to note but he was in behind the latter last time so has work to do to come out on top. Cash In A Flash won over track and trip last time but goes up in grade and likely has more on his plate now. Spooky One is another horse that has form that ties in with a few of these but he is probably going to be vulnerable to an improver. Aggrandize is quite a big price but needs to reverse recent form with Gandi finishing third last time.
