Timeform US SmartPlays: Thursday 11 January

• Three best bets in the US from Timeform

  ---

Gulfstream Park - R1 (17:10) - #8 Party Shaker

Party Shaker gets class relief and and should make a bold show in this maiden claimer. Jazzin is weighted to go well and appeals most of the rest at a bigger price. Crown Jak has previously done enough to command respect at this level.

Fair Grounds - R1 (18:45) - Back #1 A True Target

A True Target showed promise when third on debut and can earn his diploma at the second attempt here. Bolie looks the barn first string but may have to settle for a minor role to the selection once again. Jack The Whistle can follow the first two home.

Gulfstream Park - R8 (20:39) - Back #8 Proverb

Proverb may be in his advancing years but has to be of serious interest given his strike-rate at this venue and he looks to have good prospects. Like A Saltshaker goes really well for today's rider and appeals most of the rest getting class relief. Concrete Glory commands a closer look as well.
