Mumbai 8/4/2016

4.30 MULTIGLORY will relish the rise in trip but concedes crucial weight. 
RAEES is on upgrade and was not disgraced in the defeat, he should continue to be followed. 
SABIQ looks good stepping down over identical distance and has low weights. 

#2 RAEES - Top pick 

5.00 GOLD BOND made a pleasing dubut but last effort was bad. 
LORD OF THE SEA was good in some high-rating races and looks ready to shed his maiden tag at this extended distance which he will appreciate. 
LUCKY LUCIANO is well prepared and gets massive switch in rider. 
LADY BE GOOD finished on well last out at 1400m to suggest the rise to this distance is what she needs. Must respect with rider repeating. 

#3 LORD OF THE SEA - Top pick 

5.30 BRABOURNE ran on strongly to just miss when resuming. Strips fitter for that run and will be hard to beat despite conceding weight. 
Ignore DIWALI LIGHT's last effort over a mile, looks suited back in trip. 
BROTHERSOFTHEWIND may improve with blinkers added for the first time. But is unreliable. 
COMMANDERPERFORMANCE showed some improvement last start and is to be watched. 
CRISTO BOSS ran a forward race last time and now drops in distance, may place. 

#1 BRABOURNE- Top pick 

6.00 ADMO could not sustain over a mile last out, he merits attention for his close third to Ruffina on debut. 
STARI GRAD looks the one to watch on debut. This Shroff trained colt looks well prepared and may just be bit too good for these.
STRONG VALUES is another well bred on debut and has impressed in trials, must respect. 
TURNING POINT is half bred to Brahmachari and will appreciate the step up in distance. 

#3 STARI GRAD - Top pick 
#4 STRONG VALUES - Upset 

6.30 ET VOILA is the filly conceding weight. Looks difficult for win. 
VICE ADMIRAL looks out handicapped against couple of contestants. 
VOLANTIS finished on late last out when ridden off the pace. Has a chance. 
DANCING LORD is consistent and was gallant in defeat last out. Will relish the step up in trip.
GLORIOUS EYES ran much better last time out and can score off her current mark. Is well placed on scales against 2nd & 3rd name. 
SHERLOCK just didn't see out the trip last start. Previous good win puts him in with an excellent chance. 
ZANZIBAAR showed a welcome return to form and now bears watching at low weights. 

#8 SHERLOCK- Top pick 

7.00 NEW ENGLAND should gain confidence from his last victory and will appreciate the step up in trip, can score an encore. 
BACKSTREET BAY was feebly handled   last time and gets the positive rider for this. 
SIR DESMOND may at best place.
AURODEN ran a disappointing race when being backed and has a allowance rider now.
KING OF KILLEN finished on well upped to this trip for the first time and rider repeats.

#1 NEW ENGLAND- Top pick

7.30 QUEEN RIA ran forward race last time and gets the useful claimer for this. Watch for support.
SAMURAI has been very consistent & can surprise.
DECCAN KING is holding his form well and can earn another bracket soon. 
GOLDEN ORCHID has been tracked.
RICH N RARE finished on well despite being hampered for room in the final stages of race. Appeals on weights. Keep an eye. 

#3 QUEEN RIA - Top pick
#9 RICH N RARE - Keep an eye 

8.00 QUIXOTIC drops in grade and distance is ideal.
MADURO ran a disappointing race last time and needs more ground.
FRINGE BENEFIT has been running consistent races of late and can strike now with Trevor in the saddle. 
KODIAC QUEEN weakened over a mile and now steps down in trip. 
CAPTAIN resumes after a short spell and merits consideration for his earlier good 2nd to Charming. 
WAY AHEAD is not most consistent but on last showing he looks capable of striking.
SHE'S A TIGER is half sister to Phoenix Tiger who showed significant improvement last time out but was excessively whipped and now has a bad draw.
TREVELYAN seems to be slowly coming to hand and handicap is ideal. Can surprise. 

#3 FRINGE BENEFIT - Top pick 
#11 TREVELYAN- Next best 

Days Best : SHERLOCK
