Pune pre-derby day selections 13/10/2018
2.00 #1 ZANZIBAAR was closing fast when third over 1400m trip last start, and with this step up in trip sure to suit, he is the C&D winner.
#7 LAMBRETTA is the joker in the pack.
2.30 Nicely bred #8 NATALMA is coming to hand and is worth considering closely at this weights.
3.00 #4 MYSTIC FLAME is improving between runs and should take all of the beating if building on his latest second-placed effort.
3.30 #1 CHOO MANTAR drops in grade and showed some potential in her latest trials. She should relish the extra.
#8 BOYSTON ROCK is in fine form and can strike with first-time blinkers.
4.00 #9 MASTEROFBALANTRAE is holding his form well at present and is expected to prove good enough to strike here especially stepping up over ideal trip.
4.30 #4 INTENSE STYLIST looks vastly improved and gave nothing else a chance to win last start to break maiden over C&D when first up. He is the one to beat based upon that evidence.
5.00 A chance is taken on #6 FABIO, who hasn't fired on all cylinders so far this season but he is capable to strike in this moderate set especially with top rider in saddle.
On present form #11 GOLDEN HORDE is the pick of the remainder.
5.30 Speedy #8 ENCHANTED in the form of her career having won two of her last three starts and should be able to tackle this tough set.
5.50 #1 VULCAN stands tall on class and can stay the trip until cows come home despite conceding weight all over.
DAYS BEST : NATALMA
GOOD LUCK
