Wednesday’s American Horse Racing Tips

Improving colt who took another step forward to miss just a head over 6f here last month; more to come stepping up to 7f for the first time and looks the one to beat; worth keeping on side.

It is hard to look past MISCHIEF JOKE as he bids to make the breakthrough at Saratoga tonight. He goes up to 7f for the first time and that should bring about further improvement which will likely see him open his account. He showed a good attitude last time to keep battling at the line and looks the most likely winner. B D Saints has acquitted himself well in defeat in two starts on turf and if improving will be the danger now switched to dirt. Benzodini is unraced but unless the market speaks hugely for him he will likely know more for the experience.

Likeable filly who has won 2 of her last 3 starts and showed a good attitude to prevail over C&D last time despite taking a bump late on; still open to further improvement.

Great chance for the progressive RATATAT to win again! She has won 2 of her last 3 and impressed again last time in quite a messy race. She has only had a handful of starts and if stepping forward again should see this field off. Beautiful Lass won 3 starts back at a lower level but has been beaten twice since. This is at least easier than last time but she still needs more to overhaul the selection who is very much unexposed in comparison. Lady Itch knocked on the door last time but on the balance of her form she will also need to bring her best to make a race of it.
