Sunday’s American Horse Racing Tips

Smart type who had won 5 in a row before finishing down the field in Dubai when last seen; given plenty of time since and gone well fresh in the past; obvious chance to make a winning return Stateside.

Hard to look past the classy REBEL'S ROMANCE who if anywhere near his best should take care of this field. He won at the top level including at the Breeders' Cup last season and should have too much for these rivals. Soldier Rising has finished second the last twice bumping into Red Knight and then Up To The Mark so looks the most obvious danger but I feel the favourite would have to underperform for him to win. Never Explain has been going well and is another one with a squeak.

Promising filly who has shaped like she is ready to win the last twice finishing runner-up on both occasions; liked her attitude under pressure last time beaten just 2 lengths; looks ready to strike.

This looks a good opportunity for SUGAR SIN to make the breakthrough. She has taken her form up a few notches recently and wouldn't need much more to go one better now. She was only beaten 2 lengths last time and back on dirt here and back up to 6f are all positives. Aunt Berra looks the danger as she also ran well last time beaten a length and a half into second. If she improves it will be a good race between the pair. Dusted finished tired last time but she still has the form to get competitive.
