There's a lovely ten-race card to look forward to at Will Rogers Downs, and three horses in particular have outstanding claims.

The first race of interest is the opening maiden claiming race (7.15), which offers a modest $4,505 to the winner, in which the best bet of the evening runs – Hong Kong Helen.

Speed or pressing the speed is king at Will Rogers Downs in these sprints and although gate 11 isn't generally the best place to be drawn over 6f here, the selection should be able to show good early tactical zip and can make it a wire-to-wire victory.

She was turned over at long odds-on at Sam Houston in February but she is by far the best horse in this field on official ratings and also receives the 6lb three-year-old allowance. It's hard to see her being turned over.

My second bet of the night comes in race two on the card (7.45), a three-year-old-plus claiming contest over 6f on dirt. The horse who stands out is Hickory Hill, trained by Olivo Inirio.

First off the claim for this trainer, the eight-year-old swept past a wall of horses well inside the final furlong to get up at Turfway Park in March, and he did so at big odds of 25-1.

There should be plenty of speed on for this horse to aim at again and he can swoop late to land the spoils.

My final bet on the card is Tapindeed, who runs in the $8,250 claimer (9.15).

Tapindeed, a six-year-old mare trained by Ray Ashford jnr, brings a strong level of form to the table and will prove difficult to head.

The highest-rated horse in the field with a mark of 78, she has a good inside draw from gate three so will be able to save ground on the rail.

Her run two starts back over this course and distance was eyecatching. She may have been a remote fourth but it was a much stronger race than this and a repeat of that effort would give her an excellent chance here.
