US racing tips: Templegate’s best bets for the meeting at Fonner Park on Sky Sports Racing on Tuesday
FONNER PARK
10.00
TRAPPER PEAK is taking a fair drop in class here on the back of a close-up fourth last time. His trainer-jockey team have been sending out winners galore over the past couple of weeks and he saves his best for this distance.
Trask has looked a little rusty on his two runs this season and didn’t get much luck in running when fourth here two weeks ago. He’s better than that and is proven in this class.
King Of Anything has been a little out of sorts but his best efforts would put him right in the mix from a good draw.
10.27
WANT TO BE COWBOY looks the one to beat after screaming home to win by more than six lengths on debut last time out. He clocked a good time for a newcomer while his trainer and jockey are both in excellent form.
PR Gold Play warrants plenty of respect after scoring with more than two lengths in hand here last time out. That was over this six furlongs and he can cope with this slight hike in class.

CAPTAIN AMANTE has plenty in his favour having drawn stall one after winning by an easy four lengths over course and distance two weeks ago. That was all the more impressive because he was forced wide when making his challenge. This is a slightly stronger race but he’s the one to beat.
Spunky Kitten has just one win from 15 runs but was a close-up second here last time and is a regular in the frame.
Witts Hurricane scored by four lengths here latest in what looked a softer race than this. He clocked a decent time though so should run well.
11.21
GO WEST INDY looks capable of improvement at this early stage and he has taken a step forward on his past couple of spins around here. He has been running well over shorter and should be happy over this distance.
Prince Olaf was backed off the boards before coming up short over six furlongs last time. He ran out of petrol up the home straight so should do better dropping back today.
Scioto’s Shoes has a decent inside draw and is having his sights lowered for this Fonner Park debut. He showed some promise at Oaklawn and his jockey has been doing well at this year’s meeting.
11.48
OBVI has shown enough in her eight-race career to suggest she can make the most of the inside draw against some pretty modest rivals. She has been showing some promise at this level with a second and third on her past two runs. She has clocked consistently better times than these rivals so won’t be far away.
Gaby Vee has looked a little rusty this season but has been thereabouts since moving to Fonner Park. Her trainer is in top form, while Banker Nita has been keeping stronger company than this at Oaklawn and is dropping to a better trip.
12.15
GIANT GAMBLE comes here in the form of his life with a second and two wins at Fonner. His most recent victory was only by a nose but it was the most impressive as he got the best of a duel up the home straight. He clocked a good time in landing that success and has the ideal draw to land the hat-trick.
Frankalee Fun never got going behind the tip last time but won a similar race to this two outings ago and could bounce back although he needs more to reverse the form, while Elusive Blueboy was unlucky not to finish closer than fourth here latest and has an each-way shout.
12.42
A BUNCH FOR LUNCH has been going well over course and distance with two good victories in similar races to this. She had more than four lengths in hand despite being forced out wide last time and she should be right on the premises bidding for a hat-trick.
Matapan looks the threat taking a drop in class. She was second in a bunch finish here last week and has winning form in stronger races at this distance.
Lil Miss De Buy wasn’t stopping when hacking up over five furlongs at Remington last time and comes from an in-form yard.
1.09
ASTONISHING TWEET clocked a fast time when winning here last time so can cope with this hike in class. He broke quickly from stall one and had little problem fighting off the challengers. It could be the same story today.
Holiday Joke came with a real rattle to be beaten in a photo last time. A repeat of that would see him there again, while Shepherd’s Pride has been going close at this level and can figure.
