Saturday’s American Horse Racing Tips

Promising colt who only just missed on debut beaten half a length and then improved to open his account impressively on second start at Aqueduct as a 2yo; given time since and tons more to come so leading claims.

There was lots to like about the way MARIACHI opened his account on just second start as a 2yo and seeing as he has been given plenty of time to fill his frame since I'm expecting plenty of improvement now. He is a nice colt going forward and should prove too good for this field. Always Charming is chasing a hat-trick having impressed the last twice but is more exposed and has already been gelded so might need more to cope with the selection. Ocean's Reserve ran well on reappearance and is another one to note in a good race.

Created quite a big impression bolting up on debut at this track last month, hitting the line hard; sure to come on from that initial experience and well placed to make it a perfect 2-2 despite going up in grade in a good race.

The exciting REFOCUS can make it 2-2 at Santa Anita on Saturday night. He is a colt that created quite the impression winning head in chest on debut and if he improves as expected he should remain unbeaten against these. Mirahmadi is unraced but is obviously quite eye-catching on paper so could go well and will be worth monitoring in the market. Going Mobile also made a bright start winning on debut and if he improves he would also enter calculations. Tranche has been highly tried but needs to show more.
