Sunday’s American Horse Racing Tips

With 2 wins from her last 3 starts PORTAGE looks a mare on the upgrade. We haven't seen her since Belmont in October but she showed a good attitude to prevail on that occasion with Toned Up readily held in second. I expect her to confirm that form with further improvement to come and she should be contesting Graded races eventually. Toned Up was in front of Crypto Mama when second here last time so does still look the danger.

I loved the way LINDA'S GIFT found more to prevail from Musical Rhapsody when last seen. That looks a key piece of form and with further improvement to come I think she can confirm that here. She also holds Lakota Spirit on older form so should have the main market rivals covered. Duvet Day missed narrowly on penultimate start and might be the main danger if fit and ready to roll back from a 217 day absence.
