There is plenty of great horse racing action to look forward to across America on Tuesday, including at Colonial Downs race track. Here are three runners whom we think look to be a class above the opposition in their respective races. Let’s dive in and take a look at some potentially lucrative plays.

2:13pm Colonial Downs (Race 2) – Classical Magic +300

A four-time winner from 24 career starts, the daughter of Magician demonstrated that she retains plenty of ability at the age of five when finishing runner-up in a claiming event over 7.5 furlongs on turf at Gulfstream Park last month. The switch to this track is a positive with regards her chances and having gone down by a neck when runner-up having tried to make all on her latest outing she is taken to successfully employ similar tactics here.

3:09pm Colonial Downs (Race 4) – Huge Bigly +300

Sent off at big odds when finishing down the field over one-and-a-half miles in a turf allowance at Churchill Downs last month. Had previously placed third over the same course and distance in May and while he gets a marked drop in trip here that should prove no issue having finished fourth over shorter on the main track at the same venue three starts back. Gets an easier event than last time out and he can register a victory.

5:29pm Colonial Downs (Race 9) – Looking For Love +350

The daughter of Animal Kingdom finished a well held fourth of five in a six-furlong maiden special weight at Gulfstream Park on debut but she performed better when coming home seventh having attempted to make all upped to a mile on turf in a maiden claimer at the same track earlier this month. The drop in trip looks likely to suit and she is taken to make all the running with Mychel J Sanchez in the saddle.
