MUMBAI 28/4/2018

5 BIDSTONE HILL [5.00],looks ready to go on recent performances, Claim helps. 

1 HUZZAH’S GRACE [5.30] placed last start at 1200m trip and will appreciate the step up in distance, key chance. 

4 ENCHANTED [6.00] was beaten close on debut, tough to beat at short scurry. 

3 JULIO CESARO [6.30],will roll forward and has a chance to sustain pillar to post in this weak company. 

7 MISS MONEYPENNY [7.00] just missed as favourite last start and likely to race on the speed, can make amend. 

5 PRINCESS P strips fitter second up from spell and can threaten. 

12 BAKHTAWAR [7.30] should look to roll forward in a race without much early pace and may prevail. 

10 EIGER’S TIGER is slowly coming back in form and 5kg claim helps. Include. 

2 RIO DE JANERIO [8.00] narrowly beaten twice  and has two placings from four runs this prep, capable of getting her maiden win here. 

Days Best : BIDSTONE HILL 

BEST OF LUCK. 

MUMBAI 22/4/2018

#4 ADMO [5.30] placed when fresh and finished 3/4th length off the subsequent winner last start. Up in grade and drops 9.5kg from last run. Strong fancy. 

#1 COUNSELLOR [6.00] in strong form with one win from four attempts and comes back to race within a span of one week. One of the main hopes.

#4 WESTEROS [6.30] is a promising 3yo who looks well prepared and can earn his maiden bracket on debut. 

Experienced #3 RUN FOREST RUN has shown early speed in races to date and can get involved. Don’t ignore. 

#4 OPTIMUM [7.00] drops in grade and can shed his maiden tag in this ordinary set. 

#2 SUPER STRENGTH ran a forward race last time out and will roll forward again and can upset stepping down in distance. 

#1 ALMOST MAGICAL [7.30] has a class edge on most of these and should be near the speed in a race without much early pace and should run fitter for past attempts, the real danger in the race. 

#1 HIS MASTER’S VICE [8.00] finished in the middle of the pack last start. Drops in grade and distance and should run fitter for past attempts. 

DAYS BEST BET - ADMO [1-4] 

GOOD LUCK. 

MUMBAI 21/4/2018

MUMBAI 21/4/2018

5.30 RACE #1 

Analysis: 

#1 ARASHI is up in grade and could be capable of building on her maiden win last time out. Course and distance ( C&D )winner #2 FLOWER DUST is still unexposed and will progress further and can repeat under stiff penalty as the yard is in red hot form at present. Watch for support. #3 QUEENS BEST has been disappointing over sprints, but this extended trip may suit her. 

TOP PICK #2 FLOWER DUST 

6.00 RACE #2

Analysis: 

#2 TRULY EPIC warrants plenty of respect having won his maiden in fine fashion at this C&D earlier this month, but #3 BARACK shades the verdict in receipt of 4kg. Pesi Shroff’s charge had a nice educative outing on debut finishing third at 1200m trip and will surely appreciate the step up over this distance. 

TOP PICK #3 BARACK 

6.30 RACE #3

Analysis:

#4 CAPRISCA was an impressive winner back from a short spell as a gelding last start and now up in grade which leaves him well-in at the weights. If the only four-year-old runs to form he will be extremely hard to beat. #1 YANNA RASCALA may struggle to give weight over an extra filing to the selection but he remains the pick of the remainder. #5 FRIVILOUS amongst the placegetters heels last start running fourth in a blanket at 2000m, drops in distance and gets the blinkers on for the first time, in with a chance.

TOP PICK #4 CAPRISCA 

7.00 RACE #4

Analysis:

Bad race for wagering #4 SPARKLING THEA is well placed here and ready to win after being consistent throughout the season. Rest all doesn’t impress. 

TOP PICK #4 SPARKLING THEA 

7.30 RACE 5 

Analysis:

#5 BUNTING only found a potentially high-class stablemate too good on his seasonal reappearance last start and he warrants plenty of respect with Sandesh coming in for the ride. #3 COLLEGIUM is the last start impressive winner in this field and he is rated 5 points superior to the top selection. Has to defy class penalty. The rest do not inspire a lot of confidence but #1 GOD’S OWN, who drops in grade is surely better than what he has shown in upper class. Don’t discard. 

TOP PICK #5 BUNTING

WATCH OUT FOR #1 GOD’S OWN

8.00 RACE 6 

Analysis:

#1 GREY FLANNEL finished a 3/4th l back from the leader last start at short scurry and now steps up at identical trip, big chance. DEMOCRAT has been eased in grade and won once this prep at this C&D four runs back, still in this. #5 INSINIT won in a canter to shed her long overdue maiden tag last time out and will try for a quick encore. #8 ROYAL MEWS has got off to a poor start last start but won well prior. Could upset. #9 GOOD THING can be end of season surprise. Keep an eye. 

TOP PICK #1 GREY FLANNEL 

WATCH OUT FOR #9 GOOD THING

BEST BET FOR THE DAY 3-4 CAPRISCA 

ALL THE BEST !

MUMBAI 15/4/2018

5.00 #2 SHAKIN STEVENS will appreciate the step up in trip and may show improvement with blinkers included for first time.

5.30 Sparingly raced #7 HARMONY OF THE SEA hit the line solidly (Arc Shine and Collegium both won later) to win last start. Hence on that form line she is strongly favoured to provide an encore. 

6.00 #8 COUNSELLOR hasn't been far away in first three races and no surprise to see him get into the finish this time. 

#1 DAUGHTEROFTHESUN can spring a surprise stepping back at her winning trip. 3.5kg claim helps. 

6.30 #1 GNOSTIC EYES drops in grade and distance and won't find a thinner race. 

7.00 #5 SIA is well prepared to earn her maiden bracket.

#2 AEOLIS MAXIMUS can spoil her party as his last run was suggestive. 

7.30 Ignore her last both starts #8 MISS MONEYPENNY merits consideration for her close third to Excellent Gold earlier in the session. She should get all the favours from inside barrier and also appeals on age and weights.

#1 UNDISPUTED has a class edge to upset the younger duo and must be respected with positive rider in saddle. 

8.00 #1 EL TYCOON  is having first start for new owner/trainer and has been in good form lately despite not getting his head in front and despite going up in the weights after his seconds last three times, he can take advantage of 3.5kg claim in what looks a moderate contest on paper.

BEST BET FOR THE DAY 2-7 HARMONY OF THE SEA

ALL THE BEST ..!! 

MUMBAI 14/4/2018

5.30 #4 INSINIT now or never !! 

6.00 #2 QUAIL HOLLOW is tracking well and creates interest as the only colt in the race.

6.30 #7 FRIEZE is nicely-bred filly on debut and draws for the run of the race. 

7.00 CHAPLIN comes off outstanding wins at his last two starts here. Hatrick on the cards ! 

7.30 #2 PHILADELPHIA looks handicap certainty. 

8.00 #2 GRAND TENTON warmed up late here last start and can atone in this. Strong fancy..!! 

BEST FOR THE DAY 6-2 GRAND TENTON

ALL THE BEST..!! 

MUMBAI 7/4/2018

MUMBAI 7/4/2018

5.00 RACE #1

#1 YELLOWSTONE made a successful transition to the handicap ranks back from a lengthy spell. He is only 5kg higher this time and there should be plenty of scope for improvement over this trip. The ultra-consistent #2 FINEST MOMENT is a course and distance winner and can give him most to think about, is well worth a try. #3 TAR HEEL doesn’t appeal stepping up in distance. #4 SILVER EDGE drops in grade and must be considered. Distance suits. #5 IN IT TO WIN IT steps up in distance on his last fluent victory at mile trip. Goes up only 4kg and can repeat with further improvement. #6 TILL END OF TIME was given suspect ride last time, she is bred to stay and has low weights. 

TOP PICK #5 IN IT TO WIN IT 

5.30 RACE #2 

#2 GLORIOSUS is running close up an a 2nd victory is on the cards. But concedes weight. #2 SAMARJEET is 3-time winner and could get into the money. #4 MASSIMO is in top form and looking for a hat-trick but on paper could battle to complete it. #5 FLYING DRAGON is the oldie and meets first name better in the weights ( Race 86). Distance suits and expect a good run from him. #6 GRAND ACCORD tried the marathon distance last time and disappointed. Gets the nod back to his winning trip but Is unreliable sort. #7 LA MAGNIFIQUE is capable but needs to do better than recent. Has low weights and distance is ideal. 

TOP PICK #4 MASSIMO

WATCH OUT FOR #6 GRAND ACCORD 

6.00 RACE #3

#1 IMPALA finished off strongly for his first win last start and can fill the placings. #2 COLOMBIANAPRINCESS was a strong debut winner clocking an impressive timing and looks capable of measuring up in this tougher assignment. #4 RIQUEWIHR scored impressively on debut and wasn't suited last both over a furlong more. Gets another chance back in distance. #5 ARROWFIELD is on debut and may need this outing. #7 EXCELLENT boasts a nice pedigree and represents a yard whose horses are running well despite a lack of wins. Impressed in tracks and can make a winning debut. 

TOP PICK #2 COLOMBIANAPRINCESS

6.30  RACE 4

#1 BRYNHILL doesn’t impress conceding weight to youngsters. #2 ABBEY is holding her form well and could give the weight all round. #3 TIMELESS is on a hatrick and is in rousing form, he should be followed until beaten. #4 MYGRATOR wasn't disgraced in his penultimate start and could get into the picture. #5 GOVERNOR GENERAL is racing very consistently. Has low weights and gets blinkers for this. 

TOP PICK #3 TIMELESS 

7.00 RACE #5 

#1 GOLD FIELD drops in grade and will be tried under this weak rider. #2 NEMBE GREEK steps up to more suitable distance and has a chance to strike in this moderate set. #3 QUEEN BEST earned a silver medal over course and distance recently and has obvious prospects of going one better with Trevor taking the ride. #4 TRUE GRIT will strip fitter second up from the spell. Is top bred and a tongue tie goes on, he should be improved and can be prominent. 

TOP PICK #3 QUEEN’S BEST 

7.30 RACE #6

#1 ABRAXAS  is overdue for a maiden win and could get it right here. She should look to roll forward in a race without much early pace and should be prominent under 3.5kg claimer. 6YO #2 BLAZING STEPS may have his issues, as he is been sparingly raced, but on best form could stake a claim. #4 ARVAN has been threatening to leave the maiden ranks and should make another bold bid with ace rider in saddle. 

TOP PICK #2 BLAZING STEPS

WATCH OUT FOR #1 ABRAXAS 

8.00 Race #7 

Expect a good run from #1 SCION in this class and distance. #2 BEYOND FORCE has been knocking at the door and will be strongly fancied. Watch market. #3 DANCE OF FIRE received check last time and should do better now. #5 RICH N RARE could make the frame. #6 ARC OF PASSION is versatile and should take home another cheque.

TOP PICK #1 SCION 

DAYS BEST : TIMELESS

DAYS BEST VALUE BET : COLOMBIANAPRINCESS 

BEST OF LUCK..!! 

MUMBAI 1/4/2018

MUMBAI 1/4/2018

5.00 #1 MADAGASCAR is the only winner in the race and is a clear top pick despite conceding weight and sharp jump in distance. #3 MERLIN is sure to benefit from the experience and will appreciate the step up in distance second up. Big threat to top pick with the 4kg advantage. Nicely bred debutant got abroad #4 PATRIOTS DAY is showing out in morning trials and looks a decent prospect. Likely to need this experience but dangerous to ignore in this small field. 

TOP PICK #1 MADAGASCAR 

5.30 #1 SELFIE STAR won fluently last time out and can continue to progress up in handicap ranks. Drops in distance and 2.5kg helps. #2 MULTIGLORY ran a forward race last time out and may like the step down in trip but concedes weight to youngsters. #3 LORD OF THE SEA has been campaigning over much further of late in regional classics and may find this trip bit short for his liking. Loved the way #5 CAPRISCA went in a recent trials. Gelded during the spell, he looks a totally different horse. Strong fancy. #6 DROGO is consistent this time in and has low weights. 

TOP PICK #5 CAPRISCA 

6.00 #2 MASTER OF STUDIES is bred to stay and will strip fitter after a nice lung opener back from spell and apprentice claim brings him nicely in the field. #3 SILVER MOON has placed at both outings before short spell, she has to give them all weight but may sneak into placings. #5 POETRYINMOTION drops in grade and looks well prepared to put a bold show. #6 ALLOHA is the one who caught the eye in town last time to suggest the rise to this distance is what she needs. Must respect. 

TOP PICK #6 ALLOHA 

NEXT BEST #2 MASTER OF STUDIES 

6.30 Ignore her last start #1 KODIAC QUEEN merits strong consideration for her close 2nd on her penultimate start at this distance. #2 FIRENZEE finished close up last out and gets positive rider for a try. #3  EIGER’S TIGER has been systematically brought down in scales and distance suits. Appeals on handicap. #4 IT’S A DEAL is very consistent and has the best form, rates clearly on top although he needs further. #7 FRIBOURG showed good improvement to finish 2nd this track last start. He looks suited by the step up in distance. #9 DUSKY SIREN steps up in grade and top rider repeats. 

TOP PICK #4 IT’S A DEAL

NEXT BEST #1 KODIAC QUEEN 

7.00 Will be a close run race between the top picks. #1 ORACLE could not carry the big weight last time out as favourite. Can make amends on promotion with drop in weight. #2 JUGGERNAUT has penalty to tackle for repeat. #5 PRINCESS P is speedy but resumes from long lay off, may need this run. #6 WISE CHILD gets all the favours from the rails draw but is slightly out handicapped against the first and last name. #7 SERENO a place chance again. #8 POKERFACE is the one that looks a winning chance, should be up on the speed and will appreciate a drop back in distance. Appeals on handicap. 

TOP PICK #8 POKERFACE 

7.30 #1 COLLEGIUM showed speed to lead last time only to be picked off late. Drops slightly in distance and can strike if finds the position from the outermost draw. #2 HUDSON was impressive winning this track and distance last start. Up in grade and 2.5kg claim helps to defy penalty. #3 GOLDEN WEAVER drops in grade back from a short spell. May need this run. #4 SASSY LASS ran below par last time out at 1400m trip. Has a chance stepping down in distance. #6 SHE’S A TIGER is consistent 5yo maiden but finding  it difficult to win. 

TOP PICK #2 HUDSON 

8.00 #1 BOUNTY QUEEN steps up to ideal trip and can make amends for her last failure. #2 SENSEX drops in grade and gets allowance rider for a try. #3 SUMAAQ is knocking at the doors and gets positive switch in rider. Watch betting. #4 DIBABA went close last start to show she has cycled back into peak form. Can threaten. #5 MASTER OF TRINITY has changed yards after couple of promising efforts this campaign and can take a hand in the finish if forward enough. #7 ROUSSEAU is resuming after a long lay off but had mock race to sharpen him up and if he is fit enough then he will take a lot of beating on sheer class. #8 ARSENAL gets top rider for a try after her faraway fourth last time out in open class. 

TOP PICK #7 ROUSSEAU 

DAYS BEST : MADAGASCAR
