Here is the Timeform US verdict on all of Saturday's major US races.
Gulfstream Park Tips - Saturday 28th March
6:26pm - Ghostzapper Stakes
GRANDE posted a good time last time out and should give it a good go. Cadet Corps enters calculations on strike rate here alone and is the pick of the remainder. Lightning Tones also has claims.
6:56pm - Orchid Stakes
BELLEZZA looks the clear pick at the weights and looks to have good claims. Speed Shopper comes into this unbeaten in two races and appeals most of the rest. Dona Clota is another who demands a second look.
7:31pm - Gulfstream Park Oaks
An open Group Two. SHE BE SMOOTH has an excellent chance at the weights and seems likely to take the beating. Just Singing has a jockey up with a great record here and is likely to be in the mix as well. My Miss Mo is another worth looking at.
20:06pm - Sanibel Island Stakes
LAIGINA is in decent nick at present and would seem to have the best prospects. Secane clocked one of the best times in a workout a few days ago and can emerge best of the remainder. Back Ring Buzz is another who demands consideration.
21:58pm - Pan American Stakes
FAR BRIDGE will be hard to beat on these terms and has claims second to none. Dancin In Da'nile is partnered by one of the top riders and looks the one for the runner-up spot.
22:42pm - Florida Derby
COMMANDMENT has a decent chance on these terms and looks to have good prospects. Chief Wallabee is ridden by a rider who is no stranger to success on the big day and is up there on the shortlist too. Nearly also demands scrutiny.
Oaklawn Park Tips - Saturday 28th March
21:02pm - American Pharoah Overnight Stakes
TIMEOUT has an excellent chance at the weights and would seem to have the best prospects. Prince of Power is likely to be in the mix as well. Winnemac Avenue is another that comes into contention.
22:22pm - Oaklawn Mile Stakes
This doesn't look the deepest Group Three. FULL SERRANO should find the return to this trip a good move and should make a bold show. East Avenue clocked the fastest workout of the day within the last week and can emerge best of the remainder. Coal Battle is another who requires consideration.
23:48pm - Arkansas Derby
LITMUS TEST clocked one of the best times in a workout a few days ago and is the tentative selection. Silent Tactic beat the remainder hands down last time and should go well too. Napoleon Solo commands respect as well.
