Timeform US SmartPlays: Friday December 18

Aqueduct race 7 (20:20 GMT) - Mack Miller

Mack Miller holds strong claims in this $10k claimer having finished a good third in better company last time. Utopian was beaten a long way on his last start, but has a chance if returning to his best, while Maximus Mike is also considered.

Tampa Bay Downs race 7 (20:24 GMT) - Jarrod's Commando

Jarrod's Commando has been in consistent form of late, including when finishing second over 6f last time. However, he is equally effective over this 7f distance, and is fancied to notch a thirteenth career success.

Tampa Bay Downs race 8 (20:55 GMT) - Vince's Valentina

Vince's Valentina hasn't been seen since recording the last of a hat-trick of wins at Delaware in September, but looks to have been found a decent race for her comeback. Lil Escape Artist may give her most to do.
