2.00 #2 STEPPENWOLF back after 16 week break and narrowly missed at Pune in first outing. Expect to lead having drawn the rails and tough to beat over this short scurry.
2.30 #5 MZILIKAZI could fare better now switched to handicap company following two outings in graded events, the best of which saw him finish a good second over 1400m.
3.00 #5 RHAPSODY impressively won a mile handicap in September and was set a stiff assignment in Pune Derby, where she ran a forward race before diminishing after bend. She is clearly well thought of and can resume her winning ways dropping back to handicap level.
3.30 #5 MEMORABLE EYES made a pleasing start to his racing career when runner-up over 7f at Pune and the winner ( Sultan Sulaiman ) of that race went onto do even better thereafter in listed events. That is a strong form line and hence merits close attention.
#8 MARTINI by Speaking Of Which-Astral Flash ( rated 111) making rather a late debut, but yard does well here, and she won't have to be anything special to make a winning debut. Don’t discount.
4.00 Three-time course winner #2 AWESOME ONE was beaten less than a length despite travelling wide throughout here on opening day and the 4yo Colt can make amends to supporters who sent him off favourite that day with ace rider Suraj Narredu doing the steering.
4.30 There are a number of debutants who stand out on paper here and none more so than #10 IMMORTALITY who can be taken to make a winning start. She is a very well bred filly who might be set for much bigger things in the future.
5.00 #3 SHAPATH in the money last start running faraway second when resuming and capable of going close on recent form.
#7 ARIZONA PIE is still a seven race maiden and her rider’s 3.5kg claim could give her a big advantage. Keep an eye.
DAYS BEST: AWESOME ONE
GOOD LUCK
