Timeform US SmartPlays: Thursday 2 May

• Timeform pick out the best bets in the US

  ---

Belterra Park - R1 (17:15) - Back #5 Rocky's Express

ROCKY'S EXPRESS has an excellent chance at the weights and should make a bold show back in a maiden claimer. Over My Limit has less on plate here than in last race and is the pick of the remainder.

Churchill Downs - R9 (22:13) - Back #7 Shoot It True

SHOOT IT TRUE clocked a good time when making an impressive debut and looks the one to be on upped to a stakes race. Mensa went wire-to-wire first time out and should be thereabouts, whilst West Memorial could run a big race.

Churchill Downs - R11 (23:18) - Back #9 Carl Spackler

CARL SPACKLER was well on the up when last seen and should make a bold show despite having to overcome a lengthy absence. Smokin' T is a proven graded performer and can chase the selection home, whilst Stitched can see out the trifecta.
