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
