Horse Racing picks for Parx race track on Monday, January 31: The secret's out on Secret Alliance

12:52 pm Parx (Race 2) – Wheresthepassion 3/1

Recorded a career best placing when finishing runner-up in a $16,000 maiden claiming contest over seven furlongs here just over a month ago. Made his first start at this venue that day having previously acquitted himself well in five starts in Canada including when fifth over seven furlongs early last month. Is versatile with regards tactics and looks capable of breaking his maiden stepping up in class with the tracks leading rider Ruben Silvera up for Robert Mosco.

2:13 pm Parx (Race 5) – Secret Alliance 2/1

The son of Curlin showed plenty of promise when delivering a good two length second place finish when beaten by a more experienced rival in a six furlong maiden special weight here when making his debut last month. John Servis’ charge is likely to have benefitted from that experience and having delivered three solid works subsequently he looks up to getting off the mark at the second time of asking upped slightly in distance with Frankie Pennington in the saddle.

4:01 pm Parx (Race 9) – Tudox Expectations 2/1

The tracks top trainer Jamie Ness’ charge has been running well in defeat of late including when finishing fourth in a six runner six furlong allowance optional claimer at Penn National earlier this month. Had previously placed third when racing from off the pace over seven furlongs at this circuit. A wide draw in seven shouldn’t inconvenience the son of Any Given Saturday and dropping in both trip and grade he is selected to register a seventh career success.
