Timeform pick out the best bets in North America

"...looked as though she needed the outing on her reappearance..." Timeform on Hazelbrook

Timeform pick out the three best bets at Laurel Park and Woodbine on Saturday.

  • Three best bets in the US from Timeform


Laurel Park - 19:36 (R5) - #1 Battalion

Battalion returned from a break to narrowly make all last week and should make a bold show to follow up. Bryce Canyon has won three times this season and can go better than last time in what looks a slightly weaker race. Cannon's Roar isn't entirely out of it either.

Woodbine - 20:08 (R5) - #4 Stormcast

Stormcast has a better draw than on her first two starts and looks sure to take all the beating in this maiden. Quality Presence comes with a trainer/jockey combination that takes the eye and is taken for the forecast. Legs Like Flatter was runner-up on debut and can make her presence felt again.

Woodbine - 21:48 (R8) - #1 Hazelbrook

Hazelbrook has a good strike-rate but looked as though she needed the outing on her reappearance last month. This looks a good spot for her to resume winning ways. Artie's Princess must have a good chance on these terms and is also likely to be thereabouts. Valentina Day also commands consideration back at this level.
