Sunday’s American Horse Racing Tips

Progressive colt who showed a good attitude to get on top and win convincingly on turf here on penultimate start; followed that up with a gutsy success back on this surface last time; more to come and the one to beat.

Great chance for the likeable ELUSIVE EMPIRE to complete the hat-trick. He only won by a nose last time but he is getting better with experience and should confirm recent form over the likes of Captain Anthony and Keanu. The danger is probably Shankar who won nicely on turf when last seen. He was beaten by Keanu prior to that though so on collateral form will need to improve again to spring an upset. Lookinassah has finished down the field behind the selection in the past so is another one with a bit to prove.

Promising colt who missed just a head on debut over C&D having conceded first run; sure to improve from that initial experience and looks hard to oppose; very good opportunity to go one better against this field.

The promising JUST BEAT THE ODDS looks well placed to make the breakthrough at Monmouth Park on Sunday night. He only missed narrowly on debut and was coming again at the line. He will know a lot more this time around and looks the most likely winner in this field. Penzance is bred to be fairly useful but it is hard to know if he will be good enough first time out. The market should prove informative to his chances. Screaming Uncle was only fourth on debut and did weaken at the finish. Given a bit of time if he improves he could be best of the rest.
