Bangalore 17/6/2017

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.


3.00 INTER FLORA steps down in class and distance suits.
TAMARA has been systematically brought down and now gets the massive switch in saddle. Should win if tried sincerely.
BLUE SONIC caught the eye on debut and can improve on that effort. 
FIND is still a maiden and gets positive rider for this.
NYSSA ran a forward race back from the spell and now steps down in trip. 

Top pick : #2 TAMARA 
Reason : Has matched strides with better horses and nice placement in ordinary set. 


3.30 LEGACY DREAM had feel of the track and distance suits but rider is big worry. 
ARECA CRUISE gets blinkers for this, is the winner of two sprint races. Has performed badly at this trip twice earlier. 
FRESH START is the oldie who drops down in grade and has been tracked. Has class edge.
CZAR RULE has won with this rider last year in Mysore.
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. 
ATTORNEY GENERAL won with more in saddle back from the spell and can defy the penalty at his pet distance. Rider repeats. 
WATCHMYSCRIPT resumes with blinkers off and has been nicely prepared for this race. 

Top pick : #10 ATTORNEY GENERAL 
Reason : Preference given to younger horse who won back from the spell and is the only colt in this set. 


4.30 Western India import FAIR WARNING showed good improvement from his maiden effort last start before the spell. May need this run on this new track. 
NOBLE SPLENDOR has been tracked and will appreciate the short trip as he likes to roll forward.  
AINE impressed on resumption but rider is negative for juvenile race. 
ATHENA is nicely bred filly on debut and has impressed in morning trials. Should run a good race. 
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.

Top pick : #10 AUSTRALIS 
Resaon : Impressive last spurt with Suraj up and merits attention on breeding. Also she has been entered in summer Derby. 


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 
Reason : Showed good improvement after blk added last time and has contested with better juveniles at this centre. Should improve after being gelded.


5.30 SANTORINI STAR ended fairway third while resuming last start. Has useful claimed in saddle.
ARIZONA steps down in grade and looks well prepared. 
GOOD WORD has been nicely prepared by his new trainer and with benefit of run and ace rider in saddle he looks ready to strike. 
LUNAR STORM drops in class and gets positive switch in saddle. Has won with this rider earlier. 
ZAFRINA won a fighting race while resuming and at best can place. Rider repeats.  

Top pick : GOOD WORD 
Keep an eye : LUNAR STORM 
Reaaon : New trainer has nicely prepared him and has massive switch in saddle. 

DAYS BEST : ATTORNEY GENERAL 

GOOD DOUBLE : AUSTRALIS
