Hyderabad Derby Day 16/10/19
12.45 #1 MON GENERAL has plenty of early speed and having drawn the rails, tough to beat.
1.15 #2 PENTAGON bounced back to form when finishing third last start and that form has been boosted with the massive switch in rider. Hard to beat now back to his own age.
1.45 Dual C&D winner #6 BARNABAS finished like a train on his latest start to grab third here over 6f last month and will appreciate stepping up over his pet trip. While #5 ALEXANDERTHEGREAT has been unreliable of late but is capable of an upset.
2.15 #1 GALLOPING GANGSTER is the least exposed of these and yet he still brings the best form to the table. Based on that evidence the three-year-old gets the nod.
2.55 #1 ASHWA YASHOBALI has been knocking hard on the door in recent starts and just doesn't know how to run badly. He should relish the extra furlong. Strong fancy.
3.25 The significant drop in grade can see #2 LONDON BRIDGE return to winning ways this afternoon. While #5 HURRICANE is the pick of the remainders.
3.55 Hard to see anything beating the favourite. #7 WELL CONNECTED still unbeaten and winner of four in a row, looks a sure thing.
4.35 #7 VERSAILLIES arrives boasting an unbeaten record this campaign and is taken to handle the rise to class 2 company.
5.05 #2 RED SNAPER
#6 RHINE
DAYS BEST: ASHWA YASHOBALI
GOOD LUCK
