US racing tips: Best bets for the meeting stateside at Gulfstream this Thursday live on Sky Sports Racing

RACING continues apace in the US behind closed doors against the backdrop of the coronavirus outbreak.

The action will be live every evening on Sky Sports Racing, so here are our top tips for the racing at Gulfstream on Thursday.

WINNING FACTOR (5.30 Gulfstream) caught the eye when a never nearer second over the extended 7f here last time.

He was given a ground-saving ride on that occasion and was doing all his best work late under Tony Maragh.

This longer trip will suit the Herbert Miller-trained grey, who is a winner waiting to happen.

This a weak heat, though Rags For Britches, who was one place behind the selection in the aforementioned race, has ability and will also appreciate this stiffer test.

Later on the card, SIR SEAMUS (8.36 Gulfstream) can get his head in front now return to 1m.

He was a beaten favourite over C&D two starts ago, but he had excuses having chased a fast pace and been squeezed for room in the closing stages.

He was taken off his feet when dropped back to 5f last time, but he has been found a good opening back up in distance under Irad Ortiz Jr.

The main threat is likely to come from Bye Bye Man, who takes a slight drop in class.
