There is plenty of great horse racing action to look forward to across America on Monday, including at Parx race track. We are still absolutely on fire with horse racing picks; we have hit 38 winners in our last 81 races, profiting 64.3 units during this hot stretch. Let’s keep it rolling! Here are 3 runners whom we think look to be a class above the opposition in their respective races. It’s time to dive in and take a look at some potentially lucrative plays.

12:55 pm Parx (Race 1) – Kit Kat Katie 2/1

Demonstrated good form so far this year winning or placing in nine of her 12 starts including when delivering a two-and-three-quarter-length victory over five furlongs on the main track at Penn National on her penultimate start. Disappointed back on turf subsequently but has shown a liking for this track in the past, most recently when taking out a claiming contest here in May. Looks capable of registering a sixth career success with Ruben Silvera booked for the ride.

1:51 pm Parx (Race 3) – Synergized 9/5

A three time winner already this year the son of Will Take Charge put a below par starter allowance effort here behind him when finishing a half-length second in a mile claiming event on the main track here last month. The extra sixteenth here should prove no issue and having delivered a solid 50.71 four furlong breeze here earlier this month he is taken to deliver a fourth victory of the year dropping in grade for this contest.

4:39 pm Parx (Race 9) – Thundershook 8/5

Completed a hat-trick when delivering a three length victory having raced prominently in an allowance optional claimer over a mile-and-seventy-yards at Delaware Park at the end of June. Could finish only third in a small field at Pimlico subsequently but looks capable of putting that disappointment behind him switched to a starter optional claiming race for trainer Jamie Ness who currently leads the track trainer standings and can boast a 35% strike-rate (119/340) at this meet.
