2.30 #1 GAME GUY was impressive winning this track and distance last start before the spell and with 2kg claim he can back it up in this field.
#11 ASTRAL SPIRIT is well prepared by new trainer and gets in under the minimum after the claim. May upset. 

3.00 #8 SHAMAN rises in class on the last-start maiden victory and this son of Set Alight will love the longer trip so should be hard to beat. 

3.30 #1 AMBLESIDE drops in grade and will strip fitter second-up from spell. Re-appears quickly and can strike now among her own age group. 
Mumbai challenger #4 HEDWIG runs well when fresh and can give this a shake.

4.00 #13 TUTANKHAMUN was not disgraced as runner-up in PBMM last start after some promising win prior. Has been nicely prepared for this race and the extra distance will be right up his street.
Top rated and still unbeaten #6 CHIEF OF COMMAND from Ooty will be his main threat. Don't dismiss. 

4.35 #1 GOLDBERG was well backed last start but was given no hope in the run. Well drawn and deserves another chance. 4kg claim helps.

5.10 #4 ULTIMATE MAGIC is still the best horse in this race despite some indifferent results this time in work. Can improve sharply in this company. 

5.45 #7 JACANA is half sister to Proserpine and is bred to have some talent . Well prepared and looks ready for her maiden win.

EMANCIPATION is up in class and distance. Appeals on weights.

3.00 Hard to have any confidence here with most of the chances have run together. Those with a chance include Captain Calm, Mystical Shadow, Bellerophon, Granada, Extremelydangerous, Fiorolocco, Simple Sum and Red Admiral. 
My first pick is BELLEROPHON who led and was run down last time out, blinkers come off and with 4kg claim he can be prominent. 
FIOROLOCO with massive switch in saddle will be my next choice as he has scales in his favour.

DUKE OF CLARENCE improved under whiplashes last start at sprint trip. Now steps up in distance.
MULTI APP runs well when fresh and won with this rider before ,but why blinkers off?

MOGADISHU may need this run coming back from lengthy lay off
CAPTAIN MORGAN has class but may find the trip short for his liking.

WHOMAKESTHERULE comes back from set back and can upset if fully fit. Has impressed in tracks.
MATHAIYUS was unbeaten in Mumbai and runs first time in listed event. Can give this a shake at this weights.

Next best : #7 MATHAIYUS 


4.30 REFERENCE resumes and is eased in grade. Has matched strides with better ones and will relish the drop in distance to prove hard to hold out.

COURTSHIP is Shroff discard and has run well with better types in western India. Has been well prepared.
ARECA CRUISE drops in distance and gets claimer for this.
ALAINA was finishing on leisurely last start back from the spell. Strips fitter and with that run under her girth should go close in this.
AMBER CROWN caught the eye running on strongly against good type of youngsters when resuming. Although the first name is relatively placed better on scales he cannot be neglected with run under his belt. 
BUSCADERO impressed in his victory before the spell and now steps up in grade and has a bad draw.

Top pick : #1 REFERENCE 
Next best : #2 ARK ROYAL 


5.00 AFRIKANER rises in distance and reappears within one week. Was beaten by better horse last start. 
ANGEL POWER resumes and if full brother to Angel Dust. The Colt ran good third in a grade 3 event before the spell. Working well and needs not find much more from that run to take this out. Distance suits.
AUTOMATIC appears to have lost his galloping shoes after his eye-catching debut in winters. May relish the mile trip.
TAKE FIVE is nicely bred filly on debut and has impressed in trials. May find mile trip bit long for maiden effort unless she is a classic material. 

Top pick : #2 ANGEL POWER 


5.30 Bad race to wager on. 
#8 SHIVALIK CROWN and #2 FLOTUS both from same stables are my top picks on basis of pattern handicapping. First preference to 3yo.

2.00 #1 BRUNESCO was unlucky not to win at 110 here last start before the spell. Will relish the rise in distance to prove hard to hold out.
Ignore #2 SCENIC PARK's last run over 1400m trip she merits attention for her earlier efforts over a sprint. Can upset with 4kg useful claimer. 

2.30 #1 AARON THE BARON ran well first-up in the rich Million 3YO race where he was seen finishing on from the rear over 1200m trip. Will appreciate the step up in distance and need not find much more from that run to take this out. 

3.00 #9 AEROSPEED looks well prepared and can earn her maiden tag on her handicap debut. Note the rider switch. 

3.30 #9 ANACAPRI is the only 3yo in this field who scored impressively on debut 
and rises in class on the last-start victory in Ooty. Although this a little hard but can measure up. 
#4 FABULOUS TOUCH drops in grade and with Srinath up she will give this a shake. Appeals on handicap. 

4.00 #9 ROMANTIC STAR charged home for an impressive maiden win last week and will be suited up to this distance with good speed on up front. A big step forward is anticipated today. Capable of a repeat. 
Top rated #13 WINDSOR FOREST from master trainer's yard had a nice airing in Ooty and cannot be neglected. 

4.35 Grade 3 winner #9 PSYCHIC WARRIOR ran in much stronger company last start. If he can hold his spot in the first half of the field he is clearly the one to beat. 

5.10 #8 ACCOLADE is showing out in trials and although the trip seems short for his liking he can prevail on class alone. 

Also keep an eye on DENNY CRANE if you ignore his Ooty campaign he comes into contention for his close finish in sprinters cup at this track and distance. 


5.35 #10 DONT DILLY DALLY chasing back to back wins after a maiden victory this track last start. That was the confidence booster he needed and gets well in after the claim.

2.00 BROOKLYN SUPREME has been prepared well. 
HIGHLAND WIND is nice bred but doesn't impress with this out of form aged rider. 
HOT N FIRE is half bred to speedy Roman Flame and has impressed in trials. Should be favoured in this set. 
SABRINA is bred to classic Mariinsky & Schiavone and should be considered in this ordinary set of maidens although she lacks preparation. 

Top pick : #5 HOT N FIRE 
Reason : Looks the best on preparations and debuted in a million race. Whereas SABRINA is beautifully bred but lacks preparation on paper don't know if prepared in dark. 


2.30 SKYBOUND drops in grade and knocks on the door after two good runs before the spell. 
GRANADA ran well again second-up to suggest his turn will come sooner rather than later.
FIOROLOCO strips fitter after two ordinary runs back from the spell. Has earlier beaten the first name and is still well placed on the scales. 
MIDNIGHT SKY will strip fitter second-up from spell and apprentice claim brings her nicely in this field. 

Top pick : #8 MIDNIGHT SKY
Next best : #6 FIOROLOCO 

Reason : Midnight Sky was seen finishing on well under work rider and now opted for claimer.

CAROLINA impressed with her victory last start back from a lengthy lay off (Amost one year). Up in grade and distance she can provide an encore. 
FLIRTING EYES finished good 2nd to Carolina while resuming last start and will appreciate the step up in trip. 

Top pick : #9 CAROLINA 
Next best : #3 FRESH START 
Reason: Won well coming back from long lay off and such horses mostly score an encore. If she falters Fresh Start can prevail on class. 

4.00 SEA FAIREY drops in grade and has matched strides with better ones. 4kg claim helps. 
RAFA doesn't impress conceding weight to other 4yo contenders. 
SUPER SUCCESS won well first up but then was ordinary at next start. Gets hard rider for this and extra distance suits. 
BARACCHUS always runs well with this rider but has to cope with awkward draw.

Top pick : #10 ATTORNEY GENERAL

Full sister to Battalion, AUSTRALIS is an another nicely bred filly on debut and she has been prepared very well for a bold show on debut.

5.00 DRAGOBERT performed well in winters but missed the kick last outing when supported, now running with blinkers off. 
ASTRILD won a fighting race in lower class and looks tough to repeat under class penalty. 
AIR OF DISTINCTION resumes as a gelding and should be fit enough after solid trials. Looks set for a first-up win here. Extra distance suits. 
ROMANTIC HAVEN is an oldie who was notable 2nd last time out. 
TRACK STRIKER has been tracked and has low weights. 

Top pick : #4 AIR OF DISTINCTION

1.30 #2 GANDHARVA looks well prepared to make a winning debut.

2.00 #7 SATINETTE raced on the speed and weakened when runner-up over 1800m last start before the spell. The shorter journey looks a plus and rates as one of the main chances.

2.30 Lightly raced #3 MAYWEATHER just didn't see out the trip last start as a favourite. Previous good effort puts him in with an excellent chance. 

3.00 #1 CAMPARI GIRL gets out in trip and drops in class and won't be far away. Ready to go fresh. 
#5 ARZIKI will be her main danger after her scintillating victory in lower grade last time.

3.30 #6 STAR CRACKER has pulled out some big runs fresh in the past and a good recent trial suggests he is set to do the same here at his first start back from the spell. 

4.00 #11 MALANA showed speed on debut only to be outmuscled late. With natural improvement she can go one better. 

4.30 #1 SERJEANT AT ARMS won smoothly with plenty in reserve last start back from the spell. He looks invincible at this trip despite conceding weight.

5.00 #9 SILVER LEGEND  is resuming, he can disappoint but has run in much better races than this and is capable of calling the tune in this no whip race. 
#5 ROYAL REIN was not disgraced when resuming in a race with superior younger horses. Drops in grade and runs among his own age group. Keep safe. 

5.30 #10 STAR LINE broke her blood vessel when fourth last time out before the spell. This doesn't look a strong race and gets her chance to break through. 

Days Best : STAR CRACKER 
Good Double: STAR LINE

1.30 #2 BELLEROPHON ran well first-up from the spell to suggest his turn will come sooner rather than later.

2.00 Got abroad nicely bred #5 GOSHAWK has looked sharp in morning trials ahead of his debut. The one to beat. 

2.30 Ignore her last run #6 NINON merits consideration for her earlier comfortable victory at this distance. Suited back in trip, she'll be hard to hold out.

3.00 #3 WONDER WOMAN was well backed last start but was given no hope in the run. Down in grade and deserves another chance.
#13 GRANADA had good lung opener on opening weekend, strips fitter and will give this a shake with 2kg allowance. 

3.30 #7 ARVAK ran on strongly to just miss when resuming. Suited by the likely solid tempo and will be hard to hold out. Strong fancy. 

4.00 #7 SIOBHAN was a strong first-up winner and looks capable of measuring up in this tougher assignment.

4.30 SHIVALIK HONOUR makes her handicap debut and gets well in after the claim. Appeals on weights. 

5.00 #1 ZAFRAN lost to superior horse on resumption. She has the speed to lead these and second up from spell will strip fitter. 
Down in grade #2 BACK IN FLASH is live threat to top pick if she retains her old form. 

5.30 #14 ULTIMATE WARRIOR was good  last time while resuming and blinkers on can help extract further improvement. 
#6 KAMBAKU has been consistent and has matched strides with superior horses and would not leave out of chances.
