Thursday’s American Horse Racing Tips

Progressive form this season and possibly a tad unlucky to go down just a nose over 7f last time coming back strongly at the line; down in grade here and obvious chance if running to that sort of level again.

It is hard to look past UNCLE ERNIE here back down to 6f. He has already won twice over this trip this season and eased in grade will find this much more manageable than last time where arguably he could have won anyway. He will probably go forward and look to boss them throughout. Borracho is a decent yardstick at this sort of level having won 2 of his last 3 and he looks the danger. Witty was in front of the latter on penultimate start but then behind the selection last time so has work to do to try and reverse that form tonight.

Improving filly who finished well on debut going down just half a length and then stepped forward to win by a nose over track and trip last month; completely unexposed so with more to come can follow up..

Big chance for the improving STARSHIP AURA to make it 2 wins from 3 starts. She showed a good attitude to get on top last time and as long as this doesn't turn tactical and she has the leaders in sight swinging in then she should be finishing best. Tiz Enough won 3 starts back and would have needed her reappearance run here last month. If she leaves that behind she could get competitive but likely to find one or two improvers too strong in the closing stages. The rest look up against it and I'm confident the fav can get the job done.
